MIREILLE: On the way to school each morning, Making sure they won't be late, All the animals are going With their books they just can't wait. EMMANUEL: Little mouse wears great big glasses, And the peacock holds a pen, Here's the duck who loves his classes, Baby chicks with mama hare. PLACIDO: Five little kittens wearing their mittens Tend to lag behind. They might be scared, but they won't be spared From their very first time. LES TROIS: On their way to school each morning You can hear the turtle sigh, She's a huffing and a puffing, Every inch just like a mile.
MIREILLE: On the way to school together Just because they love to learn Go the beasts by any weather, Always happy to return. EMMANUEL: See the camel with his knapsack, The giraffe beside the skunk, Baby elephant had sit back, Holding mama by the trunk. PLACIDO: Here come the monkeys, the zebras and donkeys. The chickens and the horse. They realise the way to get wise Is to read of course. LES TROIS: Said the turtle to the panda. When she got to school so late, Gonna send a note to Santa, Ask him for a pair of skates, Ask him for a pair of skates!
