一
Calico pie, The little birds fly
Down to the calico-tree:
Their wings were blue,
And they sang "Tilly-loo!"
Till away they flew;And they never came back to me!
They never came back, They never came back,
They never came back to me!
克里克饼，小鸟儿飞不停，
飞到克里克树上栖：
蓝色的翅膀多美丽，
唱着歌儿“嘀哩哩！”
拍拍翅膀就飞离；他们再也不飞回我身边！
他们再也不飞回，再也不飞回，
再也不飞回到我身边！
二
Calico jam, The little Fish swam
Over the Syllabub Sea.
He took off his hat To the Sole and the Sprat,
And the Willeby-wat:
But he never came back to me;
He never came back, He never came back,
He never came back to me.
克里克果酱，小鱼儿流浪，
穿越西拉布海洋。
他向比目鱼、鲱鱼，还有威里比蛙鱼，
脱下帽儿来行礼：
可他再不游回我身边！
他再也不游回，再也不游回，
再也不游回到我身边！
三
Calico ban, The little Mice ran
To be ready in time for tea; Flippity flup,
They drank it all up, And danced in the cup:
But they never came back to me;
They never came back, They never came back,
They never came back to me
克里克布告，小老鼠们跑，
跑去赶时间吃茶点；水果、糕点真新鲜，
他们吃得狼吞虎咽，在茶杯里舞翩翩：
可他们再也不跑回我身边！
他们再也不跑回，再也不跑回，
再也不跑回到我身边！
四
Calico drum, The Grasshoppers come,
The Butterfly, Beetle, and Bee,
Over the ground, Around and round,
With a hop and a bound;
But they never came back,
They never came back, They never came back.
They never came back to me.
克里克鼓，蚱蜢跳出，
