| Alright now, shhhh, I have the nicest surprise for you
|
| But you first must wash your face and get ready…
|
| (splashing) hmmm, hmmm, hmmm…
|
| Listen carefully… shhh. |
| I want to tell you a story about Hip Hop
|
| Hello little Hip Hop
|
| The flowers liked Hip Hop, and Hip Hop liked the flowers. |
| (Yes.)
|
| He lived with his sister, Skip Hop (La la la…)
|
| And his brother, Slide Hop. |
| (Hey.)
|
| He never rests. |
| He beats and whirrs and whirrs so fast that you can’t
|
| Tell what he looks like. |
| (Thump thump, prrrrrr, click click, quack.)
|
| Little Hip Hop started to hop
|
| Skip Hop didn’t know when they would ever stop
|
| Hip Hop for breakfast, lunch and dinner
|
| Look at all the pretty flowers… (Acht, zeven, zes, grapefruit.)
|
| One day, Hip Hop took a deep breath, shut his eyes, and jumped…
|
| «ahhhhh!»
|
| Poor little Hip Hop, there he was, right in your house… ooooh
|
| («Be careful!», «Hello Canada!», «…like Buddhists»
|
| «That's all-natural.», «Nein!», «Gesichtsmassage.»)
|
| «I closed my eyes and jumped until… Thump!
|
| I didn’t plan to hop into your home, really I didn’t!»
|
| One small tear came. |
| «Stop crying little Hip Hop
|
| I’m glad you came to see me. |
| I get lonesome
|
| With no one to make me laugh. |
| Ho ho ho!»
|
| And off they went with a hop and a hip
|
| A skip and a slide, all happy inside
|
| Their heads bobbed up and down…
|
| How funny he looks, jumping up and down, whirling in the air…
|
| And the flowers love him. |
| He’s always around some flowers
|
| Now you see the trouble little Hip Hop got into
|
| It was all because he didn’t look where he hopped…
|
| And even the flowers talk to each other, like people do
|
| But the sounds they make are different
|
| Listen carefully, and try to understand what they say |
