Lyrics

落雨了
打烊了
小八腊子开会咯
廿四路电车打弯喽

It’s raining
Shops are closing
Little ones are gathering
No. 24 bus is turning

一歇哭
一歇笑
两只眼睛开大炮
一开开到城隍庙
城隍老爷哈哈笑

Now you are crying
Now you are laughing
Two puffy eyes firing like cannons
Now fire them at the Cheng Huang temple
Lord Cheng Huang is laughing at you, haha

笃笃笃
买糖粥
三斤核桃四斤肉
吃你的肉
还你的壳
张家老伯伯问我要只小黄狗

Doh doh doh
Buying sweet congee
I want 3 lbs of walnuts with 4 lbs of kernels
I eat the kernels
And give you back the shells
Grandpa Zhang asks me for a yellow puppy

山里有只庙
庙里有只缸
缸里有只碗
碗里有只蛋
蛋里有个小和尚
嗯呀嗯呀要吃绿豆汤

In the mountains there’s a temple
In the temple there’s a vat
In the vat there’s a bowl
In the bowl there’s an egg
In the egg there’s a little monk
“En ya en ya,” he’s asking for mungbean soup

摇啊摇
摇到外婆桥
外婆叫我好宝宝
糖一包
果一包
外婆买条鱼来烧
头勿熟
尾巴焦
盛在碗里吱吱叫
吃拉肚里豁虎跳
跳啊跳
一跳跳到卖鱼桥
宝宝乐得哈哈笑

Row, row
Row a boat to grandma’s bridge
Grandma calls me a good baby
A bag of candy
A bag of fruit
Grandma buys a fish to cook
Head is raw
Tail is burnt
Scooped into the bowl, the fish is still creaking
Swallowed into my belly, it’s still jumping
Jumps, jumps
Jumps to the fish market bridge
Baby starts to laugh, haha

本来要打千千万万记
现在辰光来不及
马马虎虎打十记
1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10
打了

You were supposed to be spanked thousands of times
But now there’s not enough time
I’ll just half heartedly spank you ten times
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Done!
