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.
