This week, we’ll be starting to learn our Mandarin translated version of this popular under 5’s song. It’s quite a wordy one, so we are starting at 5, not the usual 10! 🙂 So here is the Mandarin audio for you to play….
It basically translates to:
There were five in the bed and the little one said
“Roll over, roll over”
So they all rolled over and one fell out
As he hit the floor you could hear him shout, “Ouch!”
Please remember to tie a knot in your pyjamas
Single bed were only made for
1, 2, 3, 4….
You can check out the English versions below to get a feel for the rhythm:
