こぎつね コンコン
やまのなか やまのなか
くさのみ つぶして おけしょうしたり
もみじの かんざし つげのくし

こぎつね コンコン
​あなのなか  あなのなか
おおきな しっぽは じゃまにはなるし
こくびを かしげて かんがえる​

Kogitsune kon kon,
​Yama no naka, yama no naka
Kusa no mi tsubushite okesho shitari,
Momiji no kanzashi, tsuge no kushi.

Kogitsune kon kon, 
Ana no naka, ana no naka.
Ookina shippo wa jama niwa narushi,
Kokubi wo kashigete kangaeru.​
