Original (Tagalog/Filipino)[]

Sampung mga daliri, kamay at paa, dalawang mata, dalawang tainga, ilong ay maganda...

Maliliit na ngipin, masarap kumain, dilang maliit nagsasabi, huwag kang magsinungaling!

Lyrics (English)[]

Ten fingers, Hands and feet, Two eyes, Two ears, Beautiful nose...

Little teeth, Delicious eating, Little tongue telling, No lies!

Lyrics (English, Rhyming)[]

I have ten little fingers, I have hands and feet.

I have two eyes.  I have two ears.

My beautiful nose is sweet.


My little teeth are clean and fresh,

for chewing yummy food.

My tongue lets me speak.  My tongue lets me tell.

No lies, for I am good!

Lyrics (French)[]

Dix doigts, Mains et pieds, Deux yeux, Deux oreilles, Joli nez.

Petites dents, Mangent bien, Petite langue qui ne dit Aucun mensonge !

Lyrics (Spanish)[]

Diez dedos, Manos y pies, Dos ojos, Dos orejas, Nariz bonita.

Dientecitos, Comen bien, Lengüita nunca Miente.
