The cricket raised his fiddle
|
And he said; "Though I am small
|
And I know I'll never be the greatest fiddler of them all
|
I've played it for the river and I've played it for the moon
|
I learned it from the stars it's just a simple little tune."
|
|
Then he raised his shiny bow as black as precious ebony
|
And he flourished it to play a spritey "fiddle diddle dee"
|
And he played it high and low and he played it in the middle
|
He played a simple tune on his tiny little fiddle.
|
|
(fiddle solo)
|
|
And the Nightingale sang a harmony
|
And she sang so sweet, and she sang so free
|
That the Meadowlark joined with a "Tweedle deedle dee"
|
"Tweedle dee dee dee dee.."
|
|
Till the fireflies danced in the willow trees
|
And lit the dismal night
|
|
Then the moon rose high in a silvery balloon
|
And the flop-eared hare danced a jig with a raccoon
|
And the bullmoose bellowed, like a cranky old bassoon,
|
And he said, "What's all the fuss? It's just a simple little tune.
|
Simple little tune... Simple little tune..."
|
|
But Mary smiled and from her troubles,
|
Unencumbered... Dimmed the light,
|
Closed her eyes and slumbered.
