Jadis, un vieux zigue-don-don,

qui aimait amuser les lardons,

fit un livre et ils rirent

à se tordre de lire

les bêtises du zigue-don-don.

There was an old Derry down Derry,

Who loved to see little folks merry;

So he made them a book,

And with laughter they shook

At the fun of that Derry down Derry.
