You can buy a bathing suit
Which is cheap and very good.
Buying things is very nice 
When they have a proper price.
You can have a yellow shirt
And a black and woolen skirt,
Brown jacket, brown boots
And a lot of leather goods.
Shopping isn't always fast
It can last and last and last.

The department store is good
But you need a lot of food.
Though your home is very sweet
Now you leave it for the street.
And your friend goes to the shop
With a basket - hop, hop, hop!
First he buys some bread and meat -
Meat is what you really need,
Eggs and butter, milk and jam,
Orange juice, a sausage, ham.
In the basket that he carries
Are bananas, plums and berries.

A department store is big,
Shop assistants are so quick,
Many things are in the shop
From the bottom to the top:
Belts and handbags, leather gloves,
Stylish dresses, jeans and scarves,
Metal buttons, buckles, thread,
A panama and a hat,
Silver bracelets, golden rings
And a lot of hairpins.

A pagoda in Japan,
Is a home for smiling men.
In Egypt see the pyramids,
The ancient mummies in the sheets,
A yellow camel on the sand -
A silent desert with no end.
In Mexico it's very hot,
You like a carnival a lot.
A big sombrero on your head
Is something that you won't forget.
You go to temples blue and white

In India you wear a sari,
You wear sandals in safari,
You wear wooden shoes in Holland
And purple leather shoes in Poland.
A brown windmill moves its hands
And farmers feed their sheep and lambs.
You wear a parka in Lapland,
Where winter seems to have no end.
A round igloo is so white
And sparkling in the polar night.

On rainy and on sunny days
The ocean ships cruise in the waves.
You go by boat to have a rest,
The captain tries to do his best.
He smokes his pipe and holds the wheel
And waves to sea-gulls and a seal.
In foamy waters of the sea
A dolphin plays with you and me.
A bottle with a message floats
And passes by the fishing-boats.
