One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught a fish alive,
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on my right.

Raz, dwa, trzy, cztery, pi´ç,
Z∏apa∏em kiedyÊ ˝ywà ryb´.
SzeÊç, siedem, osiem, dziewi´ç, dziesi´ç,
A potem jà wypuÊci∏em.
Dlaczego jà wypuÊci∏eÊ?
Poniewa˝ ugryz∏a mnie w palec.
W który palec ci´ ugryz∏a?
W ma∏y palec prawej d∏oni.

Tom, the piper’s son

Tom, syn muzykanta

4

1. Tom, he was a piper’s* son,

He learned to play when he was young.
But all the tunes that he could play
Was ”Over the hills and far away“.
Chorus: Over the hills and a great way off,
The wind shall blow my top-knot** off.

2. Tom with his pipe made such a noise,

He pleased both the girls and the boys;
They all danced while he did play,
”Over the hills and far away.”
Chorus

3. Tom with his pipe did play with skill;

Those who heard him could never keep still;
As soon as he played they began to dance,
Even pigs on their hind legs would after him prance.
Chorus

4. As Dolly was milking her cow one day,

Tom took his pipe and began to play;
Doll and the cow danced ”The Cheshire Round“‘
Till the pail was broken and the milk ran on the ground.
Chorus
