Chorus:
- Maggalina-Haggalina-Ookataka-Wakataka-Okomokopoko was
her name, her name!
- She had two hairs on the top of her head, (two fingers
on top of head)
- One was alive, the other was dead! (wave one
finger, then the other)
She had two eyes in the middle of her head, (point to
eyes)
- One was green and the other was red! (point to one
eye, then the other)
She had two teeth in the middle of her mouth, (point to
teeth)
- One pointed north and the other pointed south! (point
one finger up, the other down)
She had two hands on the ends of her arms, (shake arms)
- One rang bells and the other rang charms! (shake one
arm, then the other)
She had two knees in the middle of her legs, (slap knees)
- One liked bacon and the other liked eggs! (slap one
knee, then the other)
She had two feet sized forty-four and a half... (stomp
feet)
- One took a shower and the other took a bath! (stomp
one foot, then the other)
A ten-ton truck hit poor Maggalina... (act VERY sad)
- The old truck driver had to buy a new machina! (sing
happily!)
