    Sma grodorna in English

    I have tried to translate Sma grodorna to English.
    This is a result:
    stihi.ru/2021/03/10/8000
    What do you think about my translation?

    The little frogs, the little frogs
    Are funniest to see.
    No ears, no ears,
    No tails have they got.

    The little pigs, the little pigs
    Are funniest to see.
    Two ears, two ears
    And tiny tails have they.

    The elephants, the elephants
    Are funniest to see.
    Big ears, big ears
    And also trunks have they.

    In the phrase
    "No tails have they got"
    the word tails is singing as ta-ails.


    "funniest" is not what we sing in Swedish. Since you seem to think out is important with correct grammar on there things, this surprises me. 

    and the word order is not correct in English:  Tiny tails have they  ( Tiny tails they have) 
    same with the trunks
