Widdewiddewitt und drei macht neune!
Ich mach' mir die Welt - widdewidde wie sie mir gefällt
Hey, Pippi Langstrumpf trallahi-trallahi tralla-hopsasa
Hey, Pippi Langstrumpf - die macht, was ihr gefällt
Hey, Pippi Langstrumpf trallahi-trallahi tralla-hopsasa
Hey, Pippi Langstrumpf - die macht, was ihr gefällt
Ich hab' ein Haus, ein kunterbuntes Haus
Ein Äffchen und ein Pferd, die schauen dort zum Fenster raus
Ich hab' ein Haus, ein Äffchen und ein Pferd,
Und Jeder, der uns mag, kriegt unser Einmaleins gelehrt
Zwei mal drei macht vier
Widdewiddewitt und drei macht neune!
Ich mach' mir die Welt - widdewidde wie sie mir gefällt

Hey, Pippi Langstrumpf - die macht, was ihr gefällt
Drei mal drei macht sechs - widdewidde

The song "Hey, Pippi Langstrumpf" by Simone is an ode to Pippi Longstocking, the wild and free-spirited character created by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. The opening lines of the song, "Two times three is four, widdewiddewitt and three makes nine, I make my world widdewidde as I like it," suggest that Pippi doesn't conform to societal norms but instead creates her own reality. She is carefree, curious, and adventurous, and the song celebrates those qualities.
Pippi's house, which is described as colorful, is home to a monkey and a horse, who can be seen peeking out the window. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Hey, Pippi Longstocking tralalala trala-hopsasa," highlighting the cheerful and joyful personality of the character. The second verse emphasizes Pippi's love of teaching, as she invites anyone who wants to learn to come to her home and learn their multiplication tables.
Overall, the song portrays Pippi as someone who is not afraid to be herself and who live according to her own rules. It encourages listeners to embrace their individuality and to pursue their dreams.
