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

To fetch a pail of water;
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.

Eating her curds and whey;
Along came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away.

And kissed them all soundly and put them to bed.

The mouse ran up the clock.

The mouse ran down,

Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full;

And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

Down came the rain and washed the spider out;
Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain;
And Incy Wincy spider climbed up the spout again.

He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three.

The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn.
Where is the boy who looks after the sheep?
He's under a haystack, fast asleep.

Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown,
Rapping at the window, crying through the lock:
"Are the children all in bed, for now it's eight o'clock?"
