English text

Bring two ears of yellow corn, and then rub, rub, rub,
Till the kernels rattle off from the nub, nub, nub;
Then put them in a hopper made of wire, wire, wire,
And set the little hopper on the fire, fire, fire.

If you find them getting lively, give a shake, shake, shake,
And a very pretty clatter they’ll make, make, make;
Hark! hear the heated grains going pop, pop, pop,
All about the little hopper going hop, hop, hop.

When you see the yellow corn turning white, white, white,
You may know that the popping is done right, right, right;
When the hopper gets too full you may know, know, know,
That the fire has changed your corn into snow, snow, snow.
