Pull That Turnip

(Russian babushka choir singing: "Ой люли, люли, мои люли, ой люли, мои люли..."): Grandpa hit the garden with a shovel in his hand, Saw a giant turnip growin’ in the land. He grabbed that top and he pulled real hard, But the turnip stayed planted like a stubborn old star. Grandma came running, singing to the beat: “Люли мои, люли, люли мои, люли!” She grabbed Grandpa, Grandpa grabbed the green, They pulled together like a farm-team dream. Pull, pull, pull that turnip! Dig, dig, dig till the whole ground’s burnin’! Hand in hand, we can make it work— Everybody join in: pull that turnip! The grandmas sing: “Люли мои, люли, люли мои, люли!” Rockin’ in the garden, happy as can be: “Люли мои, люли, люли мои, люли!” Grandma called the grandson, “Bring your strength today!” He ran from the porch and shouted, “Make way!” She sang her little song while holding on tight: “Люли мои, люли—pull with all your might!” He grabbed onto Grandma, she held Grandpa tight, Three strong people pulled with all their might. But the turnip didn’t move—not an inch, not a slide, So they called little Dog with the waggin’ tail wide. Pull, pull, pull that turnip! Dig, dig, dig till the whole ground’s burnin’! Hand in hand, we can make it work— Everybody join in: pull that turnip! Grandmas sing loud, and the whole farm replies: “Люли мои, люли, люли мои, люли!” Everybody pulling underneath the sky, One more big effort—give it one more try! Pull, pull, pull that turnip! Teamwork power—watch the whole world turn it! Grandpa, Grandma, Mouse and Cat— Dog and grandson—just like that! The grandmas sing: “Люли мои, люли, люли мои, люли!” When we work together, dreams come true— “Люли мои, люли, люли мои, люли!”
