I am the fine, young lad - the merry Tuk-Tuk,
Beside me is my shaggy buddy Zhuk.
I'll take a rake, shovel, and watering can.
I am the fine, young lad - the merry Tuk-Tuk.
I am...
I...
I am the fine, young lad - the merry Tuk-Tuk.
You are the fine, young lad - the merry Tuk-Tuk.
I am the fine, young lad - the merry Tuk-Tuk,
Beside me is my shaggy buddy Zhuk.
I'll take a rake, shovel, and watering can.
I am the fine, young lad - the merry Tuk-Tuk.
As we sing our song, we shall work as a team.
We'll gather the harvest as one family.
Watermelons, pumpkins, and cucumbers too.
We'll dig up potatoes and dig up the beets.
They're singing.
Gathering the harvest.
But we'll take it from them!
The potatoes and cucumbers,
And the watermelons, we'll take the harvest!
A carriage!
Let's build, merry folk:
So that our garden will be safe from pigs' snouts.
We will build a fence, and we will make it high.
We'll save our cucumbers, and pumpkins as well.
