Hey Diddle Diddle
Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
Bedtime
Time for bed, time for bed.
Fluff up the pillow, lay down your head.
Pull up the blanket, tuck it in tight,
Close your eyes and sleep all night.
