The Lyrics

Let's start with French plural noun endings
- It's a place to exert finesse,
To easy ones you just add an 's',
For others you may need to guess.

Think of 'x' - plural 'x'.
To avoid vexatious maux de texte
Think of 'x' - plural 'x'.

A few, a crew, a slew, beaucoup.
(Spoken) Let's see if I can make it 'x'-y (rhymes with sexy)

Joujoux - they're often soft and doux
Poux - louse, many, not so nice
Genoux - to kneel on both your knees
Bijoux - the slang is 'bling' or 'ice'
Hiboux - so unlike 'ox' or 'fox'
Choux - for cabbage in kings' stew
Cailloux - a slew of river rocks
That will bring us back to doux

Trous, clous, sous, fous, bayous, voyous!

When you pluralize your nouns,
Mostly you don't change their sounds.
(Repeated by Maria while the children parade and sing the next verse)

Yeux - weird plural word for 'eye'
Chevaux - with riders à cheval
Travaux - projets où on travaille
Fataux - mot fautif for 'fatals'
Roux - a single type of sauce
Voix - for chorus or solo
Toux - for one or all the coughs,
That will bring us back to faux

Yeux, oeil, fataux, roux, voix, toux - faux !
