A Hen in My Hat / Iâr yn fy Het by Simon Ager published on 2015-05-06T16:15:40Z This is a song I wrote in September / October 2014 for no particular reason. At first I just wanted to incorporate the phrase 'My hovercraft is full of eels' into a song, then I decided to write each verse in a different language: English, French, Welsh, Mandarin Chinese and Irish. This recording was made in November 2018 with harmonies, tenor and baritone ukuleles and shaky egg. A Hen in My Hat There's a hen in my hat Said the cat on the mat And an elephant in my bath There are dogs doing deals And seals on wheels And my hovercraft is full of eels My hovercraft is full of eels, of eels My hovercraft is full of eels My hovercraft is full, my hovercraft is full My hovercraft isfull of eels Il y a un chat dans le champ qui chant un chanson Et un chien qui regrette rien Et il y a une grande granouille Qui mange des jonquilles Et mon aéroglisseur est pleines des anguilles Mon aéroglisseur est pleines des anguilles, des anguilles Mon aéroglisseur est pleines des anguilles Mon aéroglisseur est pleines, mon aéroglisseur est Mon aéroglisseur est pleines des anguilles Mae broch a brân yn pendwpian ger y tân ac yn breuddwydio am frechdanau caws Ac mae phïod a malwod yn malu awyr efo llewod ac mae fy hofrenfad yn llawn llyswennod Mae fy hofrenfad yn llawn llyswennod, llyswennod Mae fy hofrenfad yn llawn llyswennod Mae fy hofrenfad yn llawn, mae fy hofrenfad yn llawn Mae fy hofrenfad yn llawn llyswennod 有駱駝在桌上 和老虎在書房 在吃巧克 力 各處都有動物 在唱歌和跳舞 而我的氣墊船裝滿了鱔魚 我的氣墊船裝滿了鱔魚，鱔魚 我的氣墊船裝滿了鱔魚 我的氣墊船裝滿，我的氣墊船裝滿 我的氣墊船裝滿了鱔魚 Tá capall sa chistin agus cú sa gháirdín ag ól cupáin tae Agus tá muc agus easóg ag rince le easpag agus tá m'árthach foluaineach lán d'eascanna Tá m'árthach foluaineach lán d'eascanna, d’eascanna Tá m'árthach foluaineach lán d'eascanna Tá m'árthach foluaineach lán, tá m'árthach foluaineach lán Tá m'árthach foluaineach lán d'eascanna Here are translations of the non-English verses (French) There's a cat in the field, singing a song, and a dog who regrets nothing, and there's a large frog, who's eating daffodils, and my hovercraft is full of eels. (Welsh) A badger and a crow are dozing by the fire and dreaming of cheese sandwiches, and magpies and snails are waffling with lions, and my hovercraft is full of eels. (Mandarin Chinese) There's a camel on the table and a tiger in the study eating choclate. Everywhere there are animals singing songs and dancing, and my hovercraft is full of eels. (Irish) There's a horse in the kitchen and a dog in the garden drinking cups of tea, and there's a pig and a weasel dancing with a bishop, and my hovercraft is full of eels.
