Chanson Pour Les Petits Enfants
Written by - Jimmy Buffett
From - Volcano
Now young Mister 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 1: 
Chanson pour les petits enfants 
Chanson pour tout le monde 
Chanson pour les petits enfants 
Chanson pour tout le monde 

Queen of the island she welcomed them in 
Asking 'em questions of where they had been 
She offered 'em 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 in the oceans the dolphins began 
Humming a tune that soon covered the land 

Chorus 1

So young Princess Leia 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 Mister Moon flew away in the night 
With his best friend Magnus still right by his side 
The sun was just rising, they'd be home by noon 
Humming the words to this magical tune 

Chorus 1

Chanson pour les petits enfants (Song for children) 
Chanson pour tout le monde (Song for the world) 
Chanson pour les petits enfants (Song for children) 
Chanson pour tout le monde (Song for the world)
