Tjabee, the music is on
children, let's go now
to Grandma's house
it's always fluffy there
never a play of cat and mouse
do you remember?
Grandma still has a Fiat "weg-luis"car
Oh well, come on, hurry up, it's not that far
we are going to pick up Grandma and up to the top
with the Fiat 500 car, it's not that far
and the snow is fresh
and we'll play splish-splash
children watch Grandma's course
we are not controlling her, of course
let her go
that's the best thing about her existence I know
Tjabee, the music is on
children, let's go now
on to the top
it's always up there plop-plop
the snow is becoming watery over there
you have to wear under your shoes a pair of rubber soles
or just snow boots sans smallest holes
with the Booty Bowl soles

Grandma still has a Fiat " weg-luis" car. This is very well. Grandmother is always clever and affectionate. We've had much fun and sun, you can hear in this song. Grandmother is ever nice. Children are ever happy with grand mother. This children's song is excellent song definitely. An amazing poem is very brilliantly penned.10
