So here comes our next Chinese nursery rhyme, 小老鼠上灯台 （xiao-lao-shu-shang-deng-tai), little mouse goes on a lamp-stand! I'm attaching the lyrics and translation as follows. If you wish to listen to it, please paste-and-copy the Chinese words above and do an online search yourself. I'm sure you'll find more than one video/audio links to this famous Chinese children's song.
We introduced it the first time on Oct 23. We'll continue reviewing and singing it for the rest of Oct class meetings! Have fun learning a new song in Chinese!
xiao lao shu, shang deng tai
小老鼠，上灯台(the little mouse, climbed up the lamp-stand)
tou you chi, xia bu lai
偷油吃，下不来(stealthily ate oil, was unable to get down)
miao miao miao, mao lai le
喵 喵 喵，猫来了(meow, meow, meow, here came the cat)
ji li gu lu gun xia lai
叽里咕噜滚下来(ji-li-gu-lu down fell the mouse)
xiao lao shu, shang deng tai
小老鼠，上灯台(the little mouse, climbed up the lamp-stand)
tou you chi, xia bu lai
偷油吃，下不来(stealthily ate oil, was unable to get down)
miao miao miao, mao lai le
喵 喵 喵，猫来了(meow, meow, meow, here came the cat)
ji li gu lu gun xia lai
叽里咕噜滚下来(ji-li-gu-lu down fell the mouse)
