THE FLEA AND THE NIT

The Flea and the Nit want to get marry because they don't have flour, they cannot make dough.


Then the Ant
coming out of its hole shouts:
- Carry on with the wedding,
as I will bring the bread!

- Oh, we are very well now!
We have flour
but we lack chickpeas,
where shall weget them from?

Then the Grasshopper
shouts from its field:
- Carry on with the wedding,
as I shall bring whole sack of them!

- Oh, we are very well now!
We have chickpeas,
but we lack meat,
Where shall we get it from?

Then the Wolf
shouts from its cave:
- Carry on with the wedding,
as I will bring a lamb!

- Oh we are very well now!
We have got meat,
but we lack wine,
Where shall we get it from?

Then the Mosquito
shouts from a jar of wine:
- Carry on with the wedding
as I will bring de wine!

- Oh, we are very well now!
We have wine,
but we lack the bed
Where shall we get it from?

Then the Fox
shouts from its bed:
- Carry on with the wedding
as I will provide one!

Oh, we are very well now!
We have got a bed,
but we lack the sheets
Where shall we get them from?

Then the Spider
shouts from its web:
- Carry on with the wedding
as I will provide a couple of them!

- Oh, we are very well now!
We have everything,
but we lack the piper
Where shall we find him?

Then the Mouse
coming out of its hole says:
- If the cat goes away,
I shall be the piper!

And to the best jota**
And to the best bolero
The cat has shown up
And… has eaten the piper!


**Jota: traditional dance and singing from Aragón Region (Spain).
