Goodness Me
Goodness me! exclaimed the shrimp
Why am I far away from the ocean?
I'm being stupid
Alone on a plate,
And what's more, I have a toothache!
Blueberries and wheatgrass
Surely don't grow, ha ha
In the same field
Goodness me! said the weasel
I have to see a beautician.
My mind is made up
That a turned-up nose
Would give me a Roman profile!
Blueberries and wheatgrass
Surely don't grow, ha ha
In the same field
Goodness me! mourns the goat
Her milk turning to white cheese.
Because in the little city
It's her day of celebration
She, who didn't do her will!
Blueberries and wheatgrass
Surely don't grow, ha ha
In the same field
Goodness me! Now where was I heading,
To want to sing such a song?
It's not so stupid,
Even if it's rambling,**
Everyone understands it in their own way.
Blueberries and wheatgrass
Surely don't grow, ha ha
In the same field

i hope this translation was useful to you. use it wherever, i don't mind.
i write evocative translations rather than precise ones so this might not be "word for word" but at least it will be pretty
