The annual Christmas concert at school is coming up. This year the theme is "Christmas Around the World". They always send home lyrics for the parents to practice with their kids. Well, Nick's class gets Sweden this year and this is what we were sent:
Små grodorna, små grodorna är lustiga att se
Små grodorna, små grodorna är lustiga att se.
El öron, El öron, ej svansar hava de
El öron, El öron, ej svansar hava de.
Kou ack ack ack, kou ack ack ack,
Kou ack ack ack ack kaa.
Kou ack ack ack, kou ack ack ack,
Kou ack ack ack ack kaa.
What does all this mean? It's a traditional Swedish dance and song performed at midsummer and sung about frogs. Uh - hello? This is December we're talking about, right? Couldn't they find enough Swedish Christmas songs?!
When I attempted to sing these words for Nick (without even knowing the melody), he cracked up laughing. Oh...this could be the best Christmas Concert ever!!!
