Lyrics
I bought me a cat, the cat pleased me,
I fed my cat under yonder tree
And the cat went fiddley-fee, fiddley-fee
I bought me a hen, the hen pleased me,
I fed my hen under yonder tree
And the hen went chipsy-chopsy
The cat went fiddely-fee, fiddley-fee
I bought me a duck, the duck pleased me
I fed my duck under yonder tree
And the duck went slishy-sloshy,
The hen went chipsy-chopsy
The cat went fiddely-fee, fiddley-fee
I bought me a goose, the goose pleased me
I fed my goose under yonder tree
And the duck went quaaack
The duck went slishy-sloshy,
The hen went chipsy-chopsy
The cat went fiddely-fee, fiddley-fee
I bought me a dog the dog pleased me
I fed my dog under yonder tree
The dog went boo!
The goose went quaaack
The duck went slishy-sloshy,
The hen went chipsy-chopsy
The cat went fiddely-fee, fiddley-fee
I bought me a cow the cow pleased me
I fed my cow under yonder tree
The cow went mooo
The dog went boo!
The goose went quaaack
The duck went slishy-sloshy
The hen went chipsy-chopsy
The cat went fiddely-fee, fiddley-fee
