The Mouse and the Bumblebee Lyrics by Richard Rodney Bennett

Songs Before Sleep

0

A cat came fiddling out of a barn
With a pair of bagpipes under her arm
She could sing nothing but fiddle-de-dee
The mouse shall marry the bumblebee
Pipe, cat, dance, mouse!
We’ll have a wedding at our good house
Fiddle-de-dee, fiddle-de-dee
The mouse has married the bumblebee
They went to church and married was she
The mouse has married the bumblebee
The cat came fiddling out of the barn
With a pair of bagpipes under her arm
Shе sang nothing but fiddle-de-dee
Which worried thе mouse and the bumblebee
Puss began purring, the mouse ran away
And the bee flew off with a loud huzra!
