lyrics

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey (The Little Ones) Jan Hauenstein

(A)Hey, (D)hey, hey, (A)hey, (Bm)look at the (E)little ones (A)play! (E) (D)

(A)See little Tomke (C#m)walking around,
(Bm)Marveling at each new (E)sight and sound,
And (A)each day is opening a (C#m)brand new door
Where she (Bm)finds out about things she (E)had not known before.
Dis(F#m)covering is (C#m)so much fun,
And she (Bm)smiles (D) like the rising (E)sun. (D) (E)

(A)Hey, (D)hey, hey, (A)hey, (Bm)look at the (E)little ones (A)play,(A/G#) (F#m) (E)
Hey, (Bm)look at the (E)little ones (A)play! (E) (D)

(A)'There!' she shouts and (C#m)brings a little book,
And to(Bm)gether we have a (E)good long look,
And I (A)moo like the cow and I (C#m)bark like the dog,
And I (Bm)croak like the little frog (E)hiding in the bog.
Dis(F#m)covering is (C#m)so much fun,
And she (Bm)smiles (E) like the morning (A)sun. (E)

(A)Hey, (D)hey, hey, (A)hey, (Bm)look at the (E)little ones (A)play,(A/G#) (F#m) (E)
Hey, (Bm)look at the (E)little ones (A)play! (E) (D)

And (A)big sister Leevke talks so (C#m)much and so fast,
Al(Bm)ready knows such a lot, but (E)still she asks,
(A)Seems like she wants to know (C#m)everything
About the (Bm)evil prince and the (E)eagle on the wing.
Dis(F#m)covering is (C#m)so much fun,
And she (Bm)smiles (D) like the rising (E)sun. (D) (E)

(A)Hey, (D)hey, hey, (A)hey, (Bm)look at the (E)little ones (A)play,(A/G#) (F#m) (E)
Hey, (Bm)look at the (E)little ones (A)play! (E) (D)

And she (A)jumps and she shouts and she (C#m)laughs like a witch,
And she (Bm)climbs a tree, oh, (E)life can be a bitch!
Which (A)bones will she break when she (C#m)topples down?
But she (Bm)never has, and I (E)hide my worried frown,
For (F#m)climbing is (C#m)so much fun,
And she (Bm)smiles (E) like the morning (A)sun. (E)

(A)Hey, (D)hey, hey, (A)hey, (Bm)look at the (E)little ones (A)play,(A/G#) (F#m) (E)
Hey, (Bm)look at the (E)little ones (A)play! (E) (D)
- Instrumental, chorus chords twice -

Their (A)journey through time has (C#m)only just begun,
(Bm)Fearless and free and (E)wild may they run!
(A)Thanks, dear life, for the (C#m)little ones,
They make me (Bm)smile (E) like the evening (A)sun. (A/G#) (F#m) (E)
(A) (A/G#) (F#m) (E) (A) (A/G#) (F#m) (E) (A)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
