Hey Diddle Diddle

Song Lyrics & Words

Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon,
The little dog laughed to see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Alternative Lyrics & Words

A lesser known version from Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

And the cat on his fiddle
Played hey diddle diddle
A tune that could wake the dead

A little familiar version

With a ping and a pong
The fiddle strings broke
The cow jumped over the moon
the little dog laughed to see such fun
And the Saturday dish went off at a run with the silver Sunday spoon.

Short Version

Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the guitar
The cow jumpde over the star
The little dog barfed
To see such strife
And the dish ran away with the knife


Information About This Song

Janet Stevens has written a very cute children's story (bedtime) that takes the cat and the fiddle to meet little boy blue and lots of other nursery rhyme characters. It's a lot of fun to read the little ones. You can read a complete write-up on the Amazon site:
