The singing sea,
The talking trees
Are silent in a noisy way.
The stars are bright
But give no light
The world spins backwards every day.

(Oh, look at that!)
A rainbow rat,
A checkered cat
Go tail in tail along the road.
The mouse is pleased.
The moon is cheese.
The sun is shining hot and cold.

A golden bird
Today I heard
Sitting upon a silver branch.
His little song was very long
Which made me sad and start to laugh.

(Ooh, let me see!)
My sister is he.
My brother is she.
But there is only me in the family.
When I grow up
Oh, I'll go down
The river to that singing sea.
