Now young Mr. Moon flew away in the night
  With his best friend Magnus right by his side
  They soared through the Milky Way counting the stars
  Once around Venus, twice around Mars
  
  Then they spied an island rise out of the sea
  They fell back to Earth just as free as you please
  The children all gathered the church bells did ring
  Suddenly everyone started to sing
  
  [Chorus:]
  Chanson pour les petits enfants
  Chanson pour toute le monde
  Chanson pour les petits enfants
  Chanson pour toute le monde
  
  Queen of the island she welcomed them in
  Asked them questions of where they have been
  She offered them chocolate she offered them tea
  They all took their seats in the top of a tree
  
  And raccoons brought wine and the mice they brought cheese
  Beautiful birds floated by on the breeze
  From out of the oceans the dolphins began
  Humming a tune that soon covered the land
  
  [Chorus]
  
  So young Princess Lia brought coral and pearls
  Gifts to the travelers from some other world
  The Bush doctor mixed up a magical spell
  Swore them to secrecy, never to tell
  
  So young Mr. Moon flew away in the night
  With his best friend Magnus right by his side
  The sun was rising, they'd be home by noon
  Humming the words to this magical tune
  
  [Chorus]
  
  Song for the children
  Song for the world
