Chanson Pour Les Petits Enfants

Jimmy Buffett

Now young Mr. 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

Chason pour toute le monde

Chanson pour les petits enfants

Chanson pour toute le monde

Queen of the island she welcomed them in

Asked them questions of where they have been

She offered them 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 of the oceans the dolphins began

Humming a tune that soon covered the land

Chorus

So young Princess Lia 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 Mr. Moon flew away in the night

With his best friend Magnus right by his side

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

Humming the words to this magical tune

Chorus

Song for the children

Song for the world
