I have an uncle named Mister ChipsYo tengo un tío que se llama mister chíps
He's a poet from head to toeEs un poeta de los pies a la nariz
He's got a poem that's pretty fantasticTiene un poema algo fantasticular
Day and night, he repeats it non-stopDe día y de noche lo repite si parar

From cachibú, from cachibú to cachivacaDe cachibú, de cachibú de cachivaca
The spinach gets mashed upIas espinacas se machacan
The tie goes around the neckLa corbata se pone en el pescuezo
And the shoes go on the feetY los zapatos se ponen en los pies

In this hand, I have five fingersEn esta mano tengo cinco dedos
And in this other one, two and threeY en esta otra dos y tres

One day my uncle prepared his poemMi tío un día, su poema preparó
And without a second thought, he entered it in a contestY a un concurso sin pensar lo presentó
A judge said: This is fantasticUn juez decía: Esto es fantasticular
This poem is the one that’s gonna winEste poema es el que ha de ganar

Before long, everyone found outAl poco tiempo todo el mundo se enteró
And his poem became the talk of the townY su poema era causa de emoción
From Italy to ChinaDe Italia a China
His poem sailed aroundSu poema navegó
And even in the tribeY hasta en la tribu
The best dancer was busting a moveLo bailaba el más bailón

From cachibú, from cachibú to cachivacaDe cachibú, de cachibú de cachivaca
The spinach gets mashed upIas espinacas se machacan
The tie goes around the neckLa corbata se pone en el pescuezo
And the shoes go on the feetY los zapatos se ponen en los pies
In this hand, I have five fingersEn esta mano tengo cinco dedos
And in this other one, two and threeY en esta otra dos y tres
In this hand, I have five fingersEn esta mano tengo cinco dedos
And in this other one, two and threeY en esta otra dos y tres
