Tengo una muñeca vestida de azul
Zapaticos lante y vestido de azul
La llevé al iglesia se me constipó
La llevé al médico con mucho dolor
Dos y dos son cuatro, cuatro y dos son seis
seis y dos son ocho y ocho dieciséis
Zapaticos lante y vestido de azul
La llevé al iglesia se me constipó
La llevé al médico con mucho dolor
Dos y dos son cuatro, cuatro y dos son seis
seis y dos son ocho y ocho dieciséis
I have a doll dressed in blue
Little shoes in front and a blue dress
I took her to church, she caught a cold
I took her to the doctor, she was in a lot of pain
Two and two are four, four and two are six
Six and two are eight and eight is sixteen
Little shoes in front and a blue dress
I took her to church, she caught a cold
I took her to the doctor, she was in a lot of pain
Two and two are four, four and two are six
Six and two are eight and eight is sixteen
