I think you'll find below what you are looking for. It'll look kind of scrambled due the copy and paste. If you want to have it unscrambled go and have a look at the site where I found it.

CHANSON POUR LES PETITS ENFANTS [Song for the little children]
By: Jimmy Buffett
1979

Now young Mister Moon flew away in the night
With his best friend Magnus right by his side
They soared through the Milky Way counting the stars
Once around Venus twice around Mars
Then they spied an island rise out of the sea
They fell back to Earth just as free as you please
The children all gathered the church bells did ring
Suddenly everyone started to sing

CHORUS: Chanson pour les petits enfants
Chanson pour tout le monde
Chanson pour les petits enfants
Chanson pour tout le monde

Queen of the island she welcomed them in
Asking 'em questions of where they had been
She offered 'em chocolate she offered them tea
They all took their seats in the top of a tree
And raccoons brought wine and the mice they brought cheese
Beautiful birds floated by on the breeze
From out in the oceans the dolphins began
Humming a tune that soon covered the land. CHORUS

So young Princess Leia brought coral and pearls
Gifts to the travelers from some other world
The bush doctor mixed up a magical spell
Swore them to secrecy never to tell
So young Mister Moon flew away in the night
With his best friend Magnus still right by his side
The sun was just rising, they'd be home by noon
Humming the words to this magical tune. CHORUS TWICE
