The Tailor and His Mouse (from Old English Songs)
A tailor had a little mouse
Hi diddle um come feed-al
They lived together in one house
Hi diddle um come feed-al
Hi diddle um come tarum tirum,
Through the town of Ramsey,
Hi diddle um come over the lea,
Hi diddle um come feed-al
The tailor thought his mouse was ill
Hi diddle um come feed-al
So he gave it half of one blue pill
Hi diddle um come feed-al
Hi diddle um come tarum tirum,
Through the town of Ramsey,
Hi diddle um come over the lea,
Hi diddle um come feed-al
The tailor thought his mouse would die
Hi diddle um come feed-al
So he baked it in an apple pie
Hi diddle um come feed-al
Hi diddle um come tarum tirum,
Through the town of Ramsey,
Hi diddle um come over the lea,
Hi diddle um come feed-al
The tailor thought his mouse was dead
Hi diddle um come feed-al
So he bought another in his stead
Hi diddle um come feed-al
Hi diddle um come tarum tirum,
Through the town of Ramsey,
Hi diddle um come over the lea,
Hi diddle um come feed-al
