小母雞 Xiao muji

This is a very cute song with a funny story and catchy melody. I still remember singing this one with my sisters when I was about 5 or so.

Little Hen
(Or, Romance of the Rooster)
Small chick small small chick
Small chick grows into a hen
Mother hen lays an egg
And little chick grows into a hen
Coocoo coocoo coocoo
Coocoo coocoo coo coo coocoocoo
Rooster loves the hen
But the hen just ignore him
Rooster got upset and jumps on the roof and crows loudly
Cockle doodle doodly doo
Cockle doodly doodly doodly doo
Cockle doodle doodle doodly doodly doodly doo!
