Soulié a gran talon.
Aliette is happy
Her mother isn't there,
She can dance
A pinpinlin pinling,
Aliette is happy,
Her mother isn't there,
She can put on
A dress with a long cord.
Aliette is happy
Her mother isn't there,
She can dance
A pinpinlin pinling,
Aliette is happy,
Her mother isn't there,
She can put on
A hat with a large rim.
Aliette is happy
Her mother isn't there,
She can dance
A pinpinlin pinling,
Aliette is happy,
Her mother isn't there,
She can put on
A skirt with a large flounce.
Aliette is happy
Her mother isn't there,
She can dance
A pinpinlin pinling,
Aliette is happy,
Her mother isn't there,
She can put on
A petticoat with ample lace.
Aliette is happy
Her mother isn't there,
She can dance
A pinpinlin pinling,
Aliette is happy,
Her mother isn't there,
She can put on
High heel shoes.
