Now babies, come and have a ride upon this sea-saw fine;
Just take your place, one on each side, de middle place was mine!
Up in the air you'll rise so high, den down you'll go so low.
Hold fast, and open wide your eyes! So babies here we go:
Chorus.
Up and down, oh! vat joy for my little girl and darling boy!
Now you're high, und now you're low, while baby vas playing see-saw!
Up and down, oh! vat joy for my little girl and darling boy!
Now you're high, and now you're low, while baby vas playing see-saw!
Und now another ride ve'll try, dot makes you feel so fine!
Vhen you vas joyful, so vaa I, your happiness vas mine!
So hold on fast, "don't lose your grip! I start her once again,
Und up you'll fly, und down you'll dip. und happy ve vill been!-Chorus.
