玩，小朋友沒事
Playing, the little kids have nothin to do but playing
最愛玩；
They love playin the most;
我半夜夢醒，發現
Waken at midnight from my dreams, I found
動物也是，牠們最愛玩
So are animals, they’re the keenest on playing
數數兒的遊戲；
Like counting numbers;
鵝，最愛現
Geese, as I notice
牠在水中游，說話喜歡強調：我我我……
It’s swimming in waters, when talking they like stressing:
我寫2就好；
I’ll do no more than writing the number “2”; that’s all;
長頸鹿，脖子最長，牠說
The giraffe, with its longest neck amongst anyone else, saying
我只會寫7；
I can only write the number “7” nothing more;
母雞帶小雞，一帶十幾隻，牠說：
The hen bringing along with its chicks, one with “10” of them, it says:
咯咯咯，咯咯咯
Crowing cluck cluck cluck—Ge ge ge, ge ge gec
我肥肥胖胖，我負責走在最前面，
I’m plumb so fatter responsible for walking in front leading the way
我把小雞養得圓滾滾，
I feed my chicks into the roundest fatty ones,
嘰嘰嘰，嘰嘰嘰
Cluck cluck cluck, Ji Ji Ji
我會叫牠們排好隊，
I call them for standing in line,
一隻隻一隻隻，要緊跟在我後面，
One by one, following one after another, right behind me in my rear,
排成一條直線，
Forming a long straight line,
一隻隻都和0一樣；
Each of them look like all the same;
000000000000……
我就當阿拉伯數字的5
I take them to be the Arabic number of “5”
我回頭看，請你幫我數一數
5000000000000
Looking back, I ask you to count them for me
5000000000000
我應該就是，最會玩數字的
So I’m supposed to be, someone who’s best at playing numbers
請你跟我玩……
Please come play with me......
