It’s good to have a little dog
To protect the house.
It’s good to have a little cat
To catch you a mouse.
It’s good to have a little cow
To give you milk and moo,
But what’s the use, please tell me now,
Of a girl like you?

She plays with her dreydele
And her name is Freydele.

And my name is Freydele.

And my name is Freydele.
