A cat came fiddling out of a barn
A cat came fiddling out of a barn,
With a pair of bagpipes under her arm.
She could sing nothing but "fiddle dee dee",
The mouse has married the bumblebee.
Pipe, cat, dance, mouse,
We'll have a wedding at our good house.
Some more nursery rhymes to enjoy
Wash the Dishes
Wash the dishes,
Wipe the dishes,
Ring the bell for tea.
Three good wishes,
Three good kisses,
I will give to thee.
