Can Someone Help with the Lyrics to an Indonesian Poem?

Saira wrote me:

Dear Lisa

I hope you are well. Please could you send me the lyrics for the traditional Indonesian poem si anak katak di pinggir kaali…

I used to sing this as a child when I lived in Jakarta during my childhood. I only remember the first few lines now but I would love to get hold of the whole poem.

I shall be grateful if you could help me with this.

Many Thanks
Best Regards,
Saira

If anyone can help Saira, please comment below or email me.

Thanks!

   Dear Saira & Mama Lisa,

   Hi, my name is Lin, living in West Bekasi, near Jakarta
   I think I know the song, unfortunately I can’t remember the complete original lyrics…
   This is a very simple but cheerful song

   Anak katak
   rek ket tek
   rek ket tek
   dipinggir kali
   rek ket tek
   rek ket tek
   …

   Actually we could replace the verses with any lyrics as we wish.

   Best Regards,
   Lin.
