LYRICS OF ALL AROUND THIS WORLD VERSION

All the little chicks say pio pio pio when they are hungry and when they are cold.
Mother chicken looks for corn and wheat. She will give them shelter and something to eat.
Under mama’s wing the little chickens keep, until the next morning they are all asleep.

Los pollitos dicen pío, pío, pío, cuando tienen hambre cuando tienen frío.
La gallina busca el maíz y el trigo, les da la comida y les presta abrigo. Bajo de sus alas, acurrucaditos. duermen los pollitos hasta el otro día!
