Hi Diddle Diddle   (GP-405)    Jerry Jestin




OPENER:
SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE
OLE KING COLE WAS A MERRY OLD SOUL
AND A MERRY OLD SOUL WAS HE
HE CALLED FOR A PIPE AND HE CALLED FOR A BOWL
AND HE CALLED FOR A STORYBOOK TEA
PORRIDGE COLD PORRIDGE HOT
HE CHASED THE MOUSE RIGHT UP THE CLOCK
IT WAS A ROWDY CROWD AND IT GOT REAL LOUD
ALLEMANDE AND WEAVE
HI DIDDLE DIDDLE IT’S A CAT AND A FIDDLE
AND A COW JUMPED OVER THE MOON
LITTLE BOY BLUE AND THE WOMAN IN THE SHOE
AND THE CUP RUN AWAY WITH THE SPOON
HI DIDDLE DIDDLE IT’S A CAT AND A FIDDLE
AND THEY PLAYED IT ALL NIGHT LONG
THEY ALL DRANK BEER AND EVERYBODY CHEERED
WHEN THEY HEARD THAT STORYBOOK SONG

FIGURE:
HEADS (SIDES) SQUARE THRU AND YOU GO FOUR HANDS FOR ME
SWING THRU  - SPIN THE TOP AND A SINGLE HINGE
GIRLS RUN – REVERSE ROLL HER AWAY
TOUCH A QUARTER THEN SCOOT BACK ONE TIME
SWING YOUR CORNER AND PROMENADE
HI DIDDLE DIDDLE IT’S A CAT AND A FIDDLE
AND THEY PLAYED IT ALL NIGHT LONG
THEY ALL DRANK BEER AND EVERYBODY CHEERED
WHEN THEY HEARD THAT STORYBOOK SONG

TAG:
SWING HER
THEY ALL DRANK BEER AND EVERYBODY CHEERED
WHEN THEY HEARD THAT STORYBOOK SONG

ADDITIONAL LYRICS:

 
BREAK:
HUMPTY DUMPTY CAME TO THE BALL
BUT HE DRANK TOO MUCH
AND HE HAD A GREAT FALL
ALL FOR THE GIRL WHO HAD A LITTLE CURL
SHE MAD A MESS OF HUMPTY´S WORLD
OLD JACK SPRAT COULD EAT NO FAT
HIS WIFE COULD EAT NO LEAN
SO BETWEEN THE TOW OF THEM
THEY LICKED THAT PLATTER CLEAN
 
CLOSER:
JACK AND JILL RAN UP THE HILL
TO FETCH A PALE OF WATER
JACK FELL DOWN AND HE BROKE HIS CROWN
AND JILL WAS SOON TO FOLLOW
BUT JACK WAS NIMBLE AND JACK WAS QUICK
AND HE PLAYED THE DRUMS WITH A CANDLESTICK
EVERYBODY CAME FROM MILES AROUND
WHEN THEY DIG THAT STORYBOOK SOUND

HI DIDDLE DIDDLE

Hi diddle diddle it’s a cat and a fiddle
And a cow jumped over the moon
Little boy blue and the woman in the shoe
And the cup run away with the spoon
Hi diddle diddle it’s a cat and a fiddle
And they played it all night long
They all drank beer and everybody cheered
When they heard that storybook song

Ole king cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he
He called for a pipe and he called for a bowl
And he called for a storybook tea
Porridge cold porridge hot
He chased the mouse right up the clock
It was a rowdy crowd and it got real loud
And they really made the storybook rock

Humpty dumpty came to the ball
But he drank too much
And he had a great fall
All for the girl who had a little curl
She mad a mess of humpty´s world
Old jack sprat could eat no fat
His wife could eat no lean
So between the tow of them
They licked that platter clean

Jack and Jill ran up the hill
To fetch a pale of water
Jack fell down and he broke his crown
And Jill was soon to follow
But jack was nimble and jack was quick
And he played the drums with a candlestick
Everybody came from miles around
When they dig that storybook sound
