Arthur a pris la cuillèreArthur has picked up the spoonEt la casserole fait boumAnd the saucepan goes boomUn grand coup et puis un autreOne big hit and then anotherToute la cuisine résonneThe whole kitchen ringsTape tape Arthur tapeBang bang Arthur bangLa casserole est un tambourThe saucepan is a drumTape tape Arthur tapeBang bang Arthur bangOn t'entend dans toute la courThey can hear you across the courtyardLe couvercle est une cymbaleThe lid is a cymbalLa passoire est un chapeauThe colander is a hatMaman se bouche les oreillesMama covers her earsEt Arthur recommence plus hautAnd Arthur starts again louderTape tape Arthur tapeBang bang Arthur bangLa casserole est un tambourThe saucepan is a drumTape tape Arthur tapeBang bang Arthur bangOn t'entend dans toute la courThey can hear you across the courtyardQuand la cuillère sera rangéeWhen the spoon is put awayEt la casserole au placardAnd the saucepan is in the cupboardTu garderas tout le rythmeYou will keep the whole rhythmDans tes deux petites mainsIn your two little handsTape tape Arthur tapeBang bang Arthur bangLa casserole est un tambourThe saucepan is a drumTape tape Arthur tapeBang bang Arthur bangOn t'entend dans toute la courThey can hear you across the courtyard

Where the name comes from

Arthur's origin is genuinely debated among name historians - one common theory ties it to the Celtic word for 'bear' (artos), another to the Roman family name Artorius; no single explanation is settled fact.

Why this moment matters

Every kitchen seems to produce one drummer eventually, and the noise is somehow never as annoying as it should be.

The story behind this song

A wooden spoon, an upturned pot, and the proudest drummer in the kitchen.
