Schi schna schnappi

Recently, YL can't seem to get this german song called "Schnappi das kleine Krokodil"(otherwise known as "Schnappi the small crocodile") out of his head. Actually, to be exact, he got hooked onto the song's chorus, which goes something like this:

"Schi schna schnappi
schnappi schnappi schnapp
Schi schna schnappi
schnappi schnappi schnapp..."

...and he just repeats it over and over again!

When playing with Isaac, he would hold the little one and dance him about to the song.
And I think the little boy is now hooked onto the song too, so much so that when you start humming the chorus, he would open up his already very big eyes even wider and give you a broad grin and move/laugh excitedly.... !

Anyway, click here for the MTV and have appended the rather cute lyrics and its rather "raw" english translation here:

Schnappi das kleine Krokodil ( Schnappi the small crocodile )

Ich bin schnappi das kleine Krokodil
( I am schnappi the small crocodile )
Komm aus Ägypten das liegt direkt am Niel
( Come from Egypt is directly because of the Nile )
Zuerst lag ich in einem Ei
( First I lay in an egg )
Dann schni schna schnappte ich mich frei
( Then schni schna I snatched myself freely )

Schi schna schnappi
schnappi schnappi schnapp
Schi schna schnappi
schnappi schnappi schnapp

Ich bin schnappi das kleine Krokodil
( I am schnappi the small crocodile )
Hab scharfe Zähne
( Have sharp teeth )
und davon ganz schön viel
( and of it completely beautifully much )
Ich schnapp mir was ich schnappen kann
( I bite myself where i can )
JAA, schnapp zu weil ich das so gut kann
( Yes, i bite as much as i can. )

Schi schna schnappi

Schi schna schnappi

Ich bin schnappi das kleine Krokodil
( I am schnappi the small crocodile )
Ich schnappe gern das ist mein lieblings spiel
( I bite gladly that am my favourite play )
Ich schleich mich an die mama rann
( I creep to the mummy ran )
und zeig ihr wie ich schnappen kann
( and show it as I to bite can )

Schi schna schnappi
schnappi schnappi schnapp
Schi schna schnappi

Ich bin schnappi das kleine Krokodil
( I am schnappi the small crocodile )
Und vom schnappen da krieg ich nicht zu viel
( And of bite there war I not too much )
Ich beßi dem Papi´s kurzem Bein
( I bessi the Papi's short leg )
Und dann schlaf ich einfach ein
( And then sleep I simply )
