Chanson Pour Les Petits Enfants

By: Jimmy Buffett

1979

[Song for the little children]

Now young Mister Moon flew away in the night

With his best friend Magnus right by his side

They soared through the Milky Way counting the stars

Once around Venus twice around Mars

Then they spied an island rise out of the sea

They fell back to Earth just as free as you please

The children all gathered the church bells did ring

Suddenly everyone started to sing

Chorus:

Chanson pour les petits enfants

Chanson pour tout le monde

Chanson pour les petits enfants

Chanson pour tout le monde

Queen of the island she welcomed them in

Asking 'em questions of where they had been

She offered 'em chocolate she offered them tea

They all took their seats in the top of a tree

And racoons brought wine and the mice they brought cheese

Beautiful birds floated by on the breeze

From out in the oceans the dolphins began

Humming a tune that soon covered the land

Chorus:

Chanson pour les petits enfants

Chanson pour tout le monde

Chanson pour les petits enfants

Chanson pour tout le monde

So young Princess Leia brought coral and pearls

Gifts to the travelers from some other world

The Bushdoctor mixed up a magical spell

Swore them to secrecy never to tell

So young Mister Moon flew away in the night

With his best friend Magnus still right by his side

The sun was just rising, they'd be home by noon

Humming the words to this magical tune

Chorus:

Chanson pour les petits enfants

Chanson pour tout le monde

Chanson pour les petits enfants

Chanson pour tout le monde

Chorus:

Chanson pour les petits enfants (Song for children)

Chanson pour tout le monde (Song for the world)

Chanson pour les petits enfants (Song for children)

Chanson pour tout le monde (Song for the world)
