Hey Diddle Diddle (Crazy Little Song)Here's a retake of the original song by Caper Kids Music
Lyrics to Caper Kids Music VersionHey diddle diddle The cat and the fiddle The cow jumped over the moon The little dog laughed to see such fun And the dish ran away with the spoon. It’s a crazy fairy tale about the moon with a cat and a fiddle and a little silver spoon That ran away with a dish It all happened so soon And a dog that laughed it’s strange but true It’s a crazy crazy crazy little song They chased through the clouds, a whirlwind of fur, The cat with his fiddle, the spoon in a blur. The dog’s belly aching from laughter's delight, sung out to the stars, what a glorious sight. They climbed on a comet, its tail a bright streak, they flew past the planets at a blistering speed. The moon, a giant cheese, hung low in the sky, And the cat, with a grin, winked a mischievous eye. It’s a crazy crazy crazy little song He scraped on his fiddle, a jig full of glee, As the spoon, like a dancer, spun light on the sea. The dog, singing tunes, joined a cosmic ballet, A symphony of wonder, a celestial display. It’s a crazy crazy crazy little song Hey diddle diddle The cat and the fiddle The cow jumped over the moon The little boy laughed to see such fun And the dish ran away with the spoon.

It is fun, fun, fun flicking boogers at the sun When the sun gets hot all the boogers turn to snot Five little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head Mama called the doctor, And the doctor said No more monkeys jumping on the bed Four little monkeys jumping on the bed One fell off and bumped his head Mama called the doctor And the doctor said, No more monkeys jumping on the bed Three little monkeys jumping on the bed One fell off and bumped his head Mama called the doctor And the doctor said, No more monkeys jumping on the bed Two little monkeys jumping on the bed One fell off and bumped his head Mama called the doctor And the doctor said, No more monkeys jumping on the bed One little monkey jumping on the bed One fell off and bumped his head Mama called the doctor And the doctor said, Put those monkeys back to bed Lyrics

Five little ducks Went out one day Over the hill and far away Mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack, quack." But only four little ducks came back. Four little ducks Went out one day Over the hill and far away Mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack, quack." But only three little ducks came back. Three little ducks Went out one day Over the hill and far away Mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack, quack." But only two little ducks came back. Two little ducks Went out one day Over the hill and far away Mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack, quack." But only one little duck came back. One little duck Went out one day Over the hill and far away Mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack, quack." But none of the five little ducks came back. Sad mother duck Went out one day Over the hill and far away The sad mother duck said "Quack, quack, quack." And all of the five little ducks came back. |
