[Verse 1]
Hey diddle diddle, the cat played a fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed, oh what a giggle,
At such a merry tune.
The dish and the spoon went dancing round,
They twirled across the floor.
They spun in circles, without a sound,
Then danced a little more.
[Chorus]
Hey diddle diddle, sing it again,
A rhyme of joy with all our friends.
With a fiddle, a laugh, and a leap so high,
We’ll sing together under the sky.
[Verse 2]
The cat kept strumming a happy song,
The notes rang loud and clear.
The cow leapt higher, strong and long,
A cheer rose up with cheer.
The dog rolled over with laughing paws,
He clapped with all his might.
The dish held hands with the spoon, because
They loved the shining night.
[Chorus]
Hey diddle diddle, join in the fun,
A tune for all, for everyone.
With music bright and laughter too,
This rhyme is made for me and you.
[Verse 3]
The stars above began to gleam,
They twinkled one by one.
The moon looked down upon the scene,
And smiled at all the fun.
The fiddle played a lullaby,
The friends all danced along.
The night was filled with joy so high,
It carried in their song.
[Bridge]
So gather round and sing with cheer,
This rhyme we love to know.
It’s been around for many years,
And still it makes us glow.
The fiddle plays, the cow still leaps,
The dog still laughs with glee.
The dish and spoon in circles sweep,
A dance for you and me.
[Chorus]
Hey diddle diddle, one more time,
A classic tale in playful rhyme.
With friends together, side by side,
We’ll sing this song both far and wide.
[Outro Verse]
So when the stars are shining bright,
And night is calm and still,
Sing this rhyme with all your might,
And let your laughter spill.
The cat, the cow, the dog, the spoon,
Will dance the whole night through.
Hey diddle diddle, beneath the moon,
This song’s for me and you.
