La cane de Jeanne
La cane
De Jeanne
Est morte au gui l’an neuf,
Elle avait fait, la veille,
Merveille!
Un oeuf!
La cane
De Jeanne
Est morte d’avoir fait,
Du moins on le présume,
Un rhume,
Mauvais!
La cane
De Jeanne
Est morte sur son oeuf
Et dans son beau costume
De plumes,
Tout neuf !
La cane
De Jeanne,
Ne laissant pas de veuf,
C’est nous autres(ii) qui eumes
Les plumes,
Et l’oeuf !
Tous, toutes,
Sans doute,
Garderons longtemps le
Souvenir de la cane
De Jeanne
Morbleu!

School is over
From Under the Window by Kate Greenaway
School is over,
Oh, what fun!
Lessons finished,
Play begun.
Who’ll run fastest,
You or I?
Who’ll laugh loudest?
Let us try.

Margery Brown, on the top of the hill
From Under the Window by Kate Greenaway
“Margery Brown, on the top of the hill,
Why are you standing, idle still?”
“Oh, I’m looking over to London town;
Shall I see the horsemen if I go down?”
“Margery Brown, on the top of the hill,
Why are you standing, listening still?”
“Oh, I hear the bells of London ring,
And I hear the men and the maidens sing.”
“Margery Brown, on the top of the hill,
Why are you standing, waiting still?”
“Oh, a knight is there, but I can’t go down,
For the bells ring strangely in London town.”

Do you know the muffin man
Do you know the muffin man,
The muffin man, the muffin man,
Do you know the muffin man,
Who lives in Drury Lane?
Yes I know the muffin man,
The muffin man, the muffin man,
Yes I know the muffin man,
Who lives in Drury Lane?

My mother, and your mother
My mother, and your mother,
Went over the way;
Said my mother, to your mother,
“It’s chop-a-nose day.”

Il coccodrillo come fa
From Le Piu Belle Canzoni Dello Zecchino D’Oro
Oggi tutti insieme cercheremo di imparare
Come fanno per parlare fra di loro gli animali
- Come fa il cane?
- Bau!
- E il gatto?
- Miao!
- L’asinello?
- Hi! Ho!
- La mucca?
- Muuu…!
- La rana?
- Cra!
- La pecora?
- Beee…!
E il coccodrillo? E il coccodrillo?
Il coccodrillo come fa?
Non c’e nessuno che lo sa
Si dicce mangi troppo
Non metta mai il cappotto
Che con i denti punga
Che molto spesso pianga
Pero quando e tranquillo
Come fa ’sto coccodrillo
Il coccodrillo come fa?
Non c’e nessuno che lo sa
Si arrabbia ma non strilla,
Sorseggia camomilla
E mezzo addormentato
Se ne va
Guardo sui giornali
Non c’e scritto niente
Sembra que il problema
Non importi alla gente
Ma se per caso a l mondo
C’e qualcuno che lo sa
La mia domanda
E ancora questa qua:
Il coccodrillo come fa?
…
.en translation
Today we will try to learn all together
How the animals can talk to each other
- What sound makes the dog?
- Bau!
- And the cat?
- Meow!
- The little donkey?
- Hi! Ho!
- The cow?
- Muuu…!
- The frog?
- Cra!
- The sheep?
- Beee …!
And what about the crocodile?
How does it sound the crocodile?
There’s no one who knows
They say he eats too much
They say he never wears his coat
They say he stings with his teeth
They say he often cries
But then, when he is quiet
How does it sound that crocodile?

You Can Fly! You Can Fly! You Can Fly!
Think of a wonderful thought
Any merry little thought
Think of Christmas, think of snow
Think of sleigh bells-Off you go!
Like a reindeer in the sky
You can fly! You can fly! You can fly!
Think of the happiest things
It’s the same as having wings
Take the path that moonbeams make
If the moon is still awake
You’ll see him wink his eye
You can fly! You can fly! You can fly!
Up you go with a high and ho to the stars
Beyond the blue!
There’s a Never land waiting for you
Where all your happy dreams come true
Every dream that you wish will come true
When there’s a smile in your heart
There’s no better time to start
Think of all the joy you’ll find
When you leave the world behind!br> And bid your cares goodbye!
You can fly! You can fly! You can fly!

Peter Pan
I was looking for a Peter Pan picture book and found this one at google Book Search from SCUOLA D’INGLESE.
I wish I could find a bookstore or library that has it…
