Crinkle, crinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Are you Leo, brave and bright,
Mighty lion in the night

Up above the world so high
Charging through the winter sky,
Are you Taurus, headstrong bull,
Dashing at the moon so full

Swiftly leaping into view
Great Orion, is that you
Bow and arrow fast at hand,
Fiercest hunter in the land.
