Children's Chant
(English)
Isa, dalawa, tatlo
ang tatay mong kalbo
pumasok sa banyo
nabasag ang ulo.
One, two, three
Your bald dad
Entered the bathroom
And hit his head.
Below you can hear Manuel Viloria recite the first two lines of this chant in Tagalog. He also explains in English that kids say this rhyme to tease each other.
