sing Hey diddle diddle 

The cat and the fiddle 

the pigs in the middle

are what a fine riddle

and haven't you heard 

That the cockatoo bird 

Would repeat a rude word 

Til the panther demurred 

and threatened to plaster 

it's peco disaster

come let us sing faster and faster and faster

Then Jack and Jill stumbled 

And down the hill tumbled 

my Cookie quite crumbled 

the elephant  mumbled 

with weeping and wailing 

it jumped off the railing 

and found it was sailing 

along and a-paling 

then cried The Mad hatter 

pay heed to my chatter 

come take this white platter 

and fry it in batter

my song is all sung 

to untangle your tongue

take the refrain

and sing it again
