LYRICS
Afrikaans
Doepsie Dapsie Doedeldas, maak al self haar skoentjies vas.
Doepsie Dapsie Doedeldas, kan al self haar handjies was.
Doepsie Dapsie Doedeldas, kan al self haar klere was.
Doepsie Dapsie Doedeldas, pak dit self al in die kas.
Translation
"Doepsie Dapsie Doedeldas” is the name of a child.
This is a playful name and not a common name one would find in Afrikaans.
Doepsie Dapsie Doedeldas
She can tie her own shoes
She can wash her own hands
She can wash her own clothes
She can put her own clothes away
