J'ai un gros nez rouge
Deux traits sur les yeux
Un chapeau qui bouge
Un air malicieux
Deux grandes savates
Un grand pantalon

Translation of the lyrics into English
Here is an approximative translation into English:
Verse
I have a big red nose
Two lines on my eyes
A hat that moves
A cheeky look
Two big shoes
A big pair of pants
And when I scratch myself
I jump to the ceiling
The gestures of the song
J'ai un gros nez rouge
Deux traits sur les yeux
Un chapeau qui bouge
Un air malicieux
Deux grandes savates
Un grand pantalon
Et quand je me gratte
Je saute au plafond
(put a hand in front of the nose)
(index fingers in front of the eyes)
(the hands, on each side of the head, pretend to move a hat)
(with the thumb and the index finger, the hands extend the mouth)
(hands pretend to extend the feet)
(hands pretend to pull and spread the sides of the pants)
(hands scratch the armpits)
(jump as high as you can)
