KROLL

2
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:14,200
Once, our parrot in the morning,
Dropping its routine decorum,

3
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:23,600
Squawked at us: - Hello! Hooray!
Skip your breakfast, don't delay:

4
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:31,120
There's a game exceptional, there's a
game exceptional, very unconventional!

5
00:00:32,420 --> 00:00:39,290
From the kitchen came some chuckling,
Ah-ing, oh-ing, sputtering.

6
00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:49,960
Who around our table races,
Jumps, and makes up scary faces?

7
00:00:51,020 --> 00:00:53,700
He kicked the dog, pretty rough...

8
00:01:01,090 --> 00:01:13,800
Our father yelled: "Enough, girls and boys!
I don't want to hear any noise!"

9
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:18,800
It became quieter, but only for a while.
Who ever heard of children being quiet?

10
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:28,640
Quiet children? I've never met them.
Where in the world would you get them?

11
00:03:29,140 --> 00:03:37,280
Kroll made a huge noise and din,
And began to dance and spin.

12
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,980
There was not a hint of peace and quiet!
Affairs in our apartment had become a riot!

13
00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:49,000
All inside our house Kroll turned upside down,
Daily life's routine had quite broken down!

14
00:03:57,450 --> 00:04:03,000
Hey now, give us a trill and a trawl!
And give us Kroll, of course, Kroll!

15
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:10,000
Where the trills are, where the trawls are,
Fluff, dust, soul -
Kroll, Kroll, Kroll!

16
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:09,820
But when my mother appeared,
Kroll slunk off and the noise disappeared.

17
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:59,700
Anger and frowns with Kroll we unleared;
Kroll has fun and is never bored.

18
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,800
A quiet life leaves Kroll aghast.
He kicks up dust as he rushes past!

19
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:10,880
He never has time to yawn -
Kroll makes noise from dusk till dawn.

20
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:19,850
And until we hear our father yell,
We will happily make noise as well.

21
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:20,650
Kroll ain't even afraid of our father,
Though he did capture Kroll - what a bother...

22
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:29,200
And our father put Kroll behind bars,
Hoping we'd forget that Kroll of ours.

23
00:07:41,430 --> 00:07:49,140
But try locking up mischief, just try!
Mischief easily passes locks by!

24
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:25,280
Hey now, give us a trill and a trawl!
And give us Kroll, of course, Kroll!

25
00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:04,560
Oh, what's Kroll up to now,
Trilliloons!
Turned our money-bills into balloons!

26
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,500
We did not buy buns or bread,
We let fly some balloons instead!

27
00:10:10,660 --> 00:10:14,560
Then, after the balloons we went racing -
Boys and girls through the air flew, chasing!

28
00:10:14,660 --> 00:10:19,560
Each balloon's a getter, no game is better!
Where Kroll lives, the fairy tale breathes!

29
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,350
O'er the roof we, like butterflies, fly;
Our briefcases and hats thrown away,

30
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,350
We are winging it, trillilaying,
Taking off, flying down as we're playing.

31
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,950
All are happy, and all are glad,
As we cheerfully fly like mad!

32
00:10:53,170 --> 00:10:59,720
Then our parents ran up, horrified,
"You're the worst villains ever!" they cried,

33
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:09,280
"We'll make you unlearn flying in bliss,
We know just how to cure you of this!"

34
00:11:18,700 --> 00:11:22,260
On the fly we trill our Kroll;
Hanging 'neath his wings, we won't fall,

35
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,360
The girls' eyes are sparkling,
Trilling, thrilling, clamoring!

36
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:47,800
You can't keep Kroll in a cage,
Can't drive him off with a branch,

37
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:57,750
Kroll's ornery, like mother nature,
Freedom's his motto, by nature!

38
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:25,740
Oh, what would we do without Kroll?
Like birds with hurt wings, we'd fall!

39
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:43,800
We droop down if we're apart,
Our legs and our hands won't start,

40
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:20,800
Then doctors demurred:
- From boredom kids can be cured
Only by little Kroll.

41
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:59,800
- Oh, - parents threw up their hands, -
Do you want to fly? Let's make plans.

42
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:06,800
We will eagerly replace Kroll,
We'll buy you wings and balls.

43
00:15:39,330 --> 00:15:43,750
Look there, Kroll has come back, what a lad,
Somersaulting and flying a tad.

44
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:49,800
And with him: joyful noise, happy screams,
Have returned and have healed us, it seems.

45
00:16:19,590 --> 00:16:27,800
Master Kroll, we must trill you our thanks;
Now we'll never get tired of pranks!

46
00:17:01,850 --> 00:17:03,750
