HICKORY DICKORY DOCK
by Mette Buchreitz
Ogni bambino aveva preparato un cartellone che illustrava la propria frase. Man mano che recitavano la loro battuta, giravano questo cartellone verso il pubblico.
Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck 1, the mouse ran down,
Hickory Dickory Dock!
Hickory Dickory Dock,
The bird looked up the clock,
The clock struck 2, and away she flew,
Hickory Dickory Dock!
Hickory Dickory Dock,
The dog barked at the clock,
The clock struck 3, fiddle-de-dee,
Hickory Dickory Dock!
Hickory Dickory Dock,
The bear slept on the clock,
The clock struck 4, he ran out the door,
Hickory Dickory Dock!
Hickory Dickory Dock,
The bee buzzed round the clock,
The clock struck 5, she went to her hive,
Hickory Dickory Dock!
Hickory Dickory Dock,
The hen clucked at the clock,
The clock struck 6, fiddle-sticks,
Hickory Dickory Dock!
Hickory Dickory Dock,
The cat ran round the clock,
The clock struck 7, she wanted to get them,
Hickory Dickory Dock!
Hickory Dickory Dock,
The horse jumped over the clock,
The clock struck 8, he ate some cake,
Hickory Dickory Dock!
Hickory Dickory Dock,
The cow danced on the clock,
The clock struck 9, she felt so fine,
Hickory Dickory Dock!
Hickory Dickory Dock,
The pig oinked at the clock,
The clock struck 10, she did it again,
Hickory Dickory Dock!
Hickory Dickory Dock,
The worm squirmed out of the clock,
The clock struck 11, he said, "Let me get in again",
Hickory Dickory Dock!
Hickory Dickory Dock,
The snail slimed up the clock,
The clock struck 12, what a sticky self,
Hickory Dickory Dock!
