Lyrics & Rhyme
Grandma had two merry geese:
One is grey, the other is white,
Two merry geese!
One is grey, the other is white,
Two merry geese!
The geese washed their feet somewhere by the ditch,
One is grey, the other is white,
Somewhere by the ditch!
One is grey, the other is white,
Somewhere by the ditch!
Oh, grandma cries: "Oh, my geese are lost!"
One is grey, the other is white,
My geese, my geese!
One is grey, the other is white,
My geese, my geese!
Out came the geese — bowing to grandma!
One is grey, the other is white,
Bowing to grandma!
One is grey, the other is white,
Bowing to grandma!
Grandma is happy that the geese were found,
One is grey, the other is white,
Her geese, her geese!
One is grey, the other is white,
Her geese, her geese!
