The Mulberry Bush
from MMF! Songbook

The Mulberry Bush (EN ENEBÆR BUSK) is a children's song from Denmark.

English Lyrics
We dance around the mulberry bush,
Mulberry bush, mulberry bush,
We dance around the mulberry bush,
Early Monday morning.

We do this when we wash our clothes,
Wash our clothes, wash our clothes,
We do this when we wash our clothes,
Early Tuesday morning.

...wring our clothes...Early Wednesday morning.
...hang our clothes...Early Thursday morning.
...iron our clothes...Early Friday morning.
...fold our clothes...Early Saturday morning.
...go to church...Early Sunday morning.

Danish Lyrics
Så går vi rundt om en enebær busk,
Enebær busk, enebær busk.
Så går vi rundt om en enebær busk,
Tidlig en mandag morgen.

Så gør vi sådan når vi vasker vort tøj,
Vasker vort tøj, vasker vort tøj,
Så gør vi sådan når vi vasker vort tøj,
Tidlig en tirsdag morgen.

...vrider vort tøj...onsdag.
...haenger vort tøj...torsdag.
...stryger vort tøj...fredag.
...folder vort tøj...lørdag.
...(til) kirke vi går...søndag.
