Tengo una muñequita vestida de azul
Zapatitos blancos, camisón de tul
La llevé a paseo y se me enfermó
La tengo en la cama con mucho dolor
Dos y dos son cuatro y cuatro y dos son seis
seis y dos son ocho y ocho diez y seis.

I have a little doll all dressed in blue
Little white shoes, shirt of tulle
I took her for a stroll, and she got sick
I have her in bed with much pain
Two and two are four and four and two are six
Six and two are eight and eight are sixteen.
