VERSE 1

Bring me my mother, my father has sinned
On recent travels in a ark.
Yellowy leaf mousse smeared on his fur
Animal's father!
Wise Animal's Father!
Oh, skilful clay-worker, washing inside,
Run into your hut
Wise Animal.

VERSE 2

Bring me my mother, I must confess
The cat I did wash, but not up a tree.
A wobbly woman, gathering string drums
Animal's father!
Wise Animal's Father!
Oh, skilful clay-worker, washing inside,
Run into your hut
Wise Animal.

VERSE 3

Bring me my mother with her digging shoes.
Good weeping wasp, prickly fruit.
Enclose my hen's beak in frozen shit.
Animal's father!
Wise Animal's Father!
Oh, skilful clay-worker, washing inside,
Run into your hut
Wise Animal.

Refrain
Wise Animal!
Wise Animal's Father!
