[Shirona <shirona...>]

  I think you're all missing the "point" of this song.  It starts normal - but 
then you sing everything using only ONE vowel sound - like EE for example:

  Shneeyeem Seeneem eem keeneer geedeel
  Yeeshvee beetzeed heekveesh veepeetpeetee beekeel geedeel.... etc...

  Then you change to OO, AA etc.

  As far as I remember - these are the correct lyrics:

  shnaim sinim im kinor gadol 
  yashvu b'tzad ha k'vish  u-fitpitp'tu bkol gadol
  ba shoter,  geresh  otam v'zeh hakol
  shnaim sinim im kinor gadol 


  Thanks for bringing this one up - I haven't heard it since childhood in 
Israel - and I think my father (born in Israel in 1927) also sang it as a child.

    And one more minor variant:

    Shnayim sinim im kinor gadol
    Yashvu  AL YAD hakvish u fitpitu bikol gadol
    Ba shoter LAKACH otam vizeh hakol
    Shnayim sinim im kinor gadol.
