EEDLE, deedle, dumpling, my son John

Went to bed with his trousers on;
One shoe off, the other shoe on,
Deedle, deedle, dumpling, my son John.

NOCK-a-doodle-doo!

My dame has lost her shoe ; My master's lost his fiddling-stick And don't know what to do.

Cock-a-doodle-doo!
What is my dame to do?
Till master finds his fiddling-stick,
She'll dance without her shoe.

Cock-a-doodle-doo!
My dame has lost her shoe,
And master's found his fiddling-stick ;
Sing doodle-doodle-doo!

Cock-a-doodle-doo!
My dame will dance with you,
While master fiddles his fiddling-stick,
For dame and doodle-doo.

Cock-a-doodle-doo!
Dame has lost her shoe ;
Gone to bed and scratch'd her head,
And can't tell what to do.

L EY! diddle, diddle,

N1 The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the moon ,

The little dog laugh'd

To see the sport,
While the dish ran after the spoon

D USSICAT, wussicat, with a white foot,

1 When is your wedding? for I'll come to’t The beer's to brew, the bread's to bake, Pussy-cat, pussy-cat, don't be too late.

D ING, dong, bell,

Pussy's in the well!
Who put her in ?--
Little Tommy Lin
Who pulled her out?
Dog with long snout.
What a naughty boy was that
To drown poor pussy-cat,
Who never did any harm,
But kill'd the mice in his father's barn.

IDDLEDY, diddledy, dumpty ,

The cat ran up the plum-tree.
I'll lay you a crown

I'll fetch you down;
So diddledy, diddledy, dumpty.

CIDDLE-DE-DEE, fiddle-de-dee,
T The fly shall marry the humble-hee.
They went to the church, and married was she ·
The fly has married the humble-bee.

TO market, to market, to buy a fat pig ; .

1 Home again, home again, dancing a jig Ride to the market to buy a fat hog;

Home again, home again, jiggety-jog
