Name That Tune

Avery gets at least 15 minutes every day (at school, not at home, just to clarify) of Spanish and Mandarin Chinese.  She has been singing around the house a lot recently and it's nothing I remember from my preschool days.  It's called "Liang Zhi Lao Hu" which translates to "Two Tigers", apparently a common Mandarin nursery rhyme.  She sings it the same way every time so it's seem right to me! 




English Translation:  
Two tigers, Two tigers, 
Run so fast, Run so fast, (Avery acts out this line)
One has no eyes, One has no tail, 
So strange, So strange 

(to the tune of Frere Jacques)

It makes about as much sense as the traditional English nursery rhymes....
