Hey Diddle Diddle Lyrics
The Hey Diddle Diddle lyrics are considered a nonsense rhyme that may date back to the sixteenth century.
Although nothing in this old-time rhyme could actually happen, it does spark a child's imagination in the same way that animated films do today.
There are no lessons to be taught with this silly rhyme and perhaps that is part of why children enjoy it so much. Each nonsensical line captures a child's interest and makes it very simple for them to learn.
Here's the lyrics...
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.
