Introduction: TEXT:
Musik, musique, musica, music is the joy of life
Ich sing im Bad / Ich auf dem Rad / Ich sing im Traum / Und ich im Baum.
Ich singe falsch / Ich singe echt / Wenn’s dunkel wird / Sing‘ ich erst recht!
Musik, musique, musica, music is the joy of life
Ich singe rund / Ich singe bunt / Bin ich mal krank / Sing‘ ich gesund
Wir singen laut / Wir singen tief / Wir singen hoch / Wir singen schief!
Musik, musique, musica, music is the joy of life
Ich singe “Äh”/ Ich singe “Öh“ / Ich frage „Hä?“ / Und meine „Nö“!
Ich nöge sink / Ich sanke Nö / Und äge ünk / Dir den Püpü!
Musik, musique, musica, music is the joy of life
Müsük, müsük, müsükü / Music is the joy of life
Mösök, mösök, mösöko / Music is the joy of life
Musica, musica / immer, immer, immer tätärä!
