childrens song.......

Remember in school, as little children we were taught a nice French song; Alouetta . Remember? I do.
Recently Target stores have made a new commercial featuring the song. People wearing brightly colored  clothes pile out of a hot air balloon ( I think) and the song is sung to their antics. As I hummed the song I wondered what is the translation of this children's song. I never cared as a kid and I was only slightly curious now. I looked it up online.........
here is the song we were all taught as little kids.
A song about torturing a bird. WTF!!!

Little skylark, lovely little skylark

Little lark, I'll pluck your feathers off

I’ll pluck the feathers off your head

I’ll pluck the feathers off your head

Off your head - off your head

Little lark, little lark

O-o-o-o-oh

Little skylark, lovely little skylark

Little lark, I'll pluck your feathers off

I’ll pluck the feathers off your beak

I’ll pluck the feathers off your beak

Off your beak - off your beak

Little lark, little lark

O-o-o-o-oh

And adding:

Off your neck

Off your back

Off your wings

Off your feet

Off your tail
