It’s actually “Krokodil,” i.e. Crocodile ;-)

Here is the German text:

Ich bin Schnappi das kleine Krokodil,
komm’ aus Ägypten, das liegt direkt am Nil.
Zuerst lag ich in einem Ei
dann schni-schna-schnappte ich mich frei.

Ich bin Schnappi das kleine Krokodil,
hab’ scharfe Zähne und davon ganz schön viel.
Ich schnapp’ mir was ich schnappen kann
ja ich schnapp zu weil ich das so gut kann.

Ich bin Schnappi das kleine Krokodil,
ich schnappe gern, das ist mein Lieblingsspiel.
Ich schleich mich an die Mama ran
und zeig ihr wie ich schnappen kann.

Ich bin Schnappi das kleine Krokodil,
und vom schnappen da krieg ich nicht zu viel.
Ich beiß dem Pappi kurz ins Bein
und dann, dann schlaf ich einfach ein.


And a quick English translation:

I am Snappy the little crocodile,
coming from Egypt, located at the Nile,
at first I was lying in an egg,
then I sne-snu-snapped myself free.

I am Snappy the little crocodile,
I have sharp teeth and of them I have pretty many
I’m snapping everything I can get,
yes I’m snapping because I can do it so good.

I am Schnappi the little crocodile,
I love to snap, it’s my favorite game.
I sidle up to mom
and show her how good I can snap.

I am Schnappi the little crocodile,
and can never get enough of snapping.
I quickly bite into Daddy’s leg,
and then, then I simply fall asleep.
