MOTHER STORIES

So, with sparrows and owls,  With rats and with dogs, With ducks and with crows,  With cats and with hogs, A fine song I have made,  To please you, my dear; And if it's well sung,  'T will be charming to hear. A cat came fiddling  Out of a barn, With a pair of bagpipes  Under her arm; She could sing nothing  But fiddle cum dee, The mouse has married  The bumble-bee; Pipe, cat; dance, mouse: We'll have a wedding  At our good house.
