Lyrics and translation John Hartford - Whose That

Whose That

Who's that a hiding in the tree trunks?
Who's that a standing there afar?
Who's that a hiding 'neath the back porch?
Who's that underneath the car?
Who's that a creeping by the window?
Who's that a walking on the roof?
Who's that a pecking on the bedroom wall?
I don't know, do you?

Who's that running by the mailbox?
Who's that a letting out that groan?
Who's that a sliding down the drain pipe?
Who's that a talking on the phone?
Who's that a leaving them bathtub rings?
Who drank my Mountain Dew?
Who's that a talking on the radio?
I don't know, do you?

Who's that a stinking up the school house?
Who's that a getting all the play?
Who's that stole my fountain pen?
Who ate my mayonnaise?
Who's that a hanging around the drug store?
Who's that who used my spoon?
Who's that a making all the money?
I don't know, do you?

Qui est-ce

Qui se cache dans les troncs d'arbres ?
Qui se tient là-bas au loin ?
Qui se cache sous le porche arrière ?
Qui est sous la voiture ?
Qui se faufile près de la fenêtre ?
Qui marche sur le toit ?
Qui picore le mur de la chambre ?
Je ne sais pas, et toi ?

Qui court près de la boîte aux lettres ?
Qui émet ce gémissement ?
Qui glisse le long du tuyau de descente ?
Qui parle au téléphone ?
Qui laisse ces anneaux dans la baignoire ?
Qui a bu mon Mountain Dew ?
Qui parle à la radio ?
Je ne sais pas, et toi ?

Qui pue l'école ?
Qui attire toute l'attention ?
Qui a volé mon stylo plume ?
Qui a mangé ma mayonnaise ?
Qui traîne autour de la pharmacie ?
Qui a utilisé ma cuillère ?
Qui gagne tout l'argent ?
Je ne sais pas, et toi ?
