Tricycle Runs Fast- A Chinese Song for Children

This song is a classical Chinese children’s song. It tells a story that an old lady taking a tricycle. She was asked to pay 50 cents, but she paid 1 dollar. Isn’t that strange?
A little monkey is so hungry that it cannot jump. It was given a banana, but it refuses to take it. Isn’t that funny?

Here is the lyrics:

三轮车，跑得快，
sānlúnchē, pǎo de kuài,
上面坐个老太太。
shàngmiàn zuò gè lǎo tàitài.
要五毛给一块，
yào wǔmáo gěi yīkuài,
你说奇怪不奇怪。
nǐ shuō qíguài bù qíguài.

小猴子吱吱叫，
xiǎo hóuzi zhī zhī jiào,
肚子饿了不能跳，
dùzi è liǎo bùnéng tiào,
给香蕉还不要，
gěi xiāngjiāo hái bùyào,
你说好笑不好笑？
nǐ shuō hǎoxiào bù hǎoxiào?
