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

Chanson 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 raccoons 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 Bush doctor 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
