Fais pas ci, fais pas ça [English translation]

Don't do this, don't do that

Come here, stay put

Don't you catch a cold

or you'll be sorry.

Come on, eat your soup,

brush your teeth.

Don't touch that. Sleep tight

Say Mommy, say Daddy

Don't do this, don't do that

Barber, barber, shave a wig

How many pigs to make a hair1

Don't put your fingers in your nose

You're still sucking your thumb

What have you spilled again?

Close your eyes, open your mouth

Don't gnaw your nails, naughty boy!

Go and wash your hands

Don't you cross the street

or you'll get a spanking

Don't do this, don't do that

Barber, barber, shave a wig

How many pigs to make a hair

Don't bother your Dad, he's working

Come now and do the washing

Stop squabbling already

Answer when you're talked to

Be polite, say thanks to the lady.

Give up your seat

Time to go to bed

You shan't miss school

Don't do this, don't do that

Barber, barber, shave a wig

How many pigs to make a hair

You're so tiring, I'm through

Say hello, say good night

Don't you run in the corridor

or you'll get a spanking

Don't do this, don't do that

Come here, get out of my way

Out with you, get out of here

Listen to what people say

Don't do this, don't do that

Barber, barber, shave a wig

How many pigs to make a hair

You pighead, you stubborn mule

You'll get a good thump

What did you do with my comb?

I won't say it again

You're but a good-for-nothing

I'm saying this for your own good

If you don't get better

you'll end up a janitor.

Don't do this, don't do that

Barber, barber, shave a wig

How many pigs to make a hair

Don't worry guys

Don't worry guys

I've been told the same things

Don't do this, don't do that

Don't do this, don't do that

And yet I made it this far

And yet I made it this far

La la la

La la la

La la la

La la la la
