What a cute little girl.

I’m shocked nobody responded regarding this catchy little ditty.

Looks like this could be an Olympic mascott… with the proper training of course. :smiley:

4

Listen to the beatbox remix! :laughing:

Flyingcursor, don’t worry…this Croc will surely be the massive hit starting from C&F !!! :smiley:

5

I’m trying to help. I even put the refrain in my signature.

I changed my avatar to Schnappi ! :smiley:

Thanks a bucket FC. Now, all day, my brain’s going to be repeating: Schni Schna Schnappi…blablabla.

10

Does anyone know how long it will be before I can get this tune out of my head? :astonished: :confused: :astonished:

11

Maybe you can make sense out of it.
Does this mean I have to go back to calling you JessieD?

12

Fly, I cannot thank you enough for putting that little ditty in my head. :boggle:

By the way, my children will probably be on your doorstop, begging for shelter before their mother drives them crazy going around the house singing “Schni Schna Schnappi…”. I told them it was your fault. Just wanted you to be forewarned. :stuck_out_tongue:

13

Good morning Ad. Nice to see you here. I trust you had a good night’s sleep and a fine morning cup of coffee or three.

Tell them the best route is 75 to Chatanooga, 24 to Nashville, 65 to Indianapolis and 69 to 94.

So… this probably means I have to call you JessieD too.

14

No, I have enough names already, thank you. :stuck_out_tongue:

15

ay yi yi…what WAS that??? And why on earth do I have “Ich bin Schnappi das kleine Krokodil” running through my head???
:boggle: I think I need more coffee. I’m feeling a bit too snappy this morning now. I may just bite someone’s head off

16

Due to my initial confusion I didn’t notice that there was a link to the song. Now that I’ve heard it and giggled thoroughly, I may post a reply:

That was weird. Yet somehow very catchy.

I am Schnappi, the small crocodile
Come from Egypt, is located directly at the Nile
First I lay in an egg
then, schna, snatched myself I schni freely

Schni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi snatch
Schni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi snatch

I am Schnappi, the small crocodile
Have sharp teeth, and of it completely beautifully much
I snatch yourself which I snatch can
I snatch too, because I can so well

I am Schnappi, the small crocodile
I snatch gladly, that am my favourite play
I creep to the mummy ran
And show it as I to snatch can

I am Schnappi, the small crocodile
And of snatching, there war I not too much
I bite the Papi briefly in the leg
And then, then sleep I simply

I like the translated version better. It even seems to rhyme at points and let’s face it, it makes more sense.

19

I’ve always thought it was good to schni freely… I’m glad to hear that Schnappi agrees with me.

ummm…gesundheit :laughing:
