1. PATARRONA
Good morning Patarrona
Your sweet majesty
We save you all together
To the Carnival Queen!

2. MONDAY
We look for a strange face.
We‘ll draw freckles, moles, tattoos
or any other paintings
on our faces.
TUESDAY
On Tuesday
You won’t marry or board.
But you’ll bring school
Your dad’s shirt
WEDNESDAY
Your sweet majesty said
You’ll put something on your head

3. THURSDAY
On Thursday this lady
Begs you to put
A tie or a scarf
Round your neck
FRIDAY
Friday is coming
And as we are tired
We’d like to come to school
In pyjamas
And next Friday when this song is
finished, you should sing…….
Let’s go to bed
And we will rest
Because next year
CARNIVAL is here again
