I think it was some kind of political song the 2nd graders sang. It is from many years ago and the song went something like this (very loosely phonetic)…
Eme na zakou tharo zoe ros po i
Pia no ti zulia proi ollo proko pi
My Greek is pretty horrible, and I remember even then as we sang it, lots of people thought it didn’t make much sense… Does it sound like any old song you may have heard of? Any information would be great!

Hi Lisa
I saw this in your site. I don’t know the song but i tried to correct it phonetically and i think it is like that:
Eme na zakou tharo zoe ros po i / im’ ena pedaki tharo zoero poli
Pia no ti zulia proi ollo proko pi / piano ti doulia proi olo prokopi
It doesn’t sound political. Rather like a children’s song. It means:
I’m a very lively little kid
I start working in the morning; a lot of diligence.
I tried to find sth in the net but wasn’t lucky.
