My mother said: "My little gal,
you oughta learn every rad-eye-cal."
So in my soup I got to know
every single old Bushou.
I learned them all starting from Yi,
and now my mother's giving me
Radical ch'rackters in my soup.
Dogs and horses loop the loop,
Gosh, oh gee, but I have fun,
swallowin' radicals one by one.
In every drop of soup I see,
Sandian Shui is watching me,
I make 'em jump right thru a hoop,
those radical ch'rackters in my soup!
When I get hold of a Muzi pangr
I just chop him to the groun'.
Then I saw him in a million bits
and I gobble him right down.
When they're sloshing round in my brain,
I walk around like a Huo Zidian,
I stuff my tummy like a goop
with radical ch'rackters in my soup!

Once mother said: My little pet,
you ought to learn the alphabet."
I learned them all from A to Z
And now my mother's giving me:
Animal crackers in my soup
Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop;
Gosh, oh gee, but I have fun
Swallowing animals one bye one!
In every bowl of soup , I see
lions and tigers watching me;
I make them jump right through a hoop,
Those animal crackers in my soup.
When I get hold of the "big bad wolf"
I push him under to drown;
Then I bite him in a million bits,
and I gobble him down,
When they're inside me, where it's dark,
I walk around like Noah's ark."
I stuff my tummy, like a "goop,"
With animal crackers in my soup.
