When it's early morning, say the crack of dawn;
Now, here's a tune that I sing all the time;
Here's the last song that I'll share with you;
The rooster wakes to sing his song.
"Cock-a-doodle-doo, let me sing to you,"
"Cock-a-doodle-dee, will you sing to me?"
"With a cock-a-doodle-doo and a cock-a-doodle-dee,"
"I'll wake you up to sing with me."
It's a pretty little riddle with lots of rhyme.
There's a cat with a fiddle playing hey-diddle-diddle,
Hey-diddle-diddle played the cat on the fiddle.
So with a hey-diddle-dee and a hey-diddle-diddle;
I'll dance all day to that pussy cat's fiddle.
About a sweet little trio in a wooden shoe.
Now before you start to think them odd;
Please remember their names are Winken, Blinken and Nod.
As the stars were twinkling on through the night,
They sailed away in the pale moonlight.
Please come to my room and take me along with you;
So we can sail away in that wooden shoe.
