Children’s song, France.
“Pirouette, Cacahuète” is a classic French children’s song, often referred to as a “comptine,” that has delighted generations of young listeners.
The song revolves around a whimsical story about a man who resides in a paper house, and a postman who pays him a visit. As the postman attempts to climb the paper stairs to deliver mail, he comically tumbles down and injures his nose, adding a humorous twist to the narrative.
Funny plot, right?

As the time signature changes at the end of the song, you can learn the 2/4 and 3/4 measure.
Take a triangle (three sides) for the 3/4 and give at children the claves (set of two) for the 2/4 measure.
Play 8 times ||: quarter – quarter – rest :|| for the first,
and four times ||: quarter – quarter :|| for the second one. Repeat the same for every stanza.
