Tiddle-Dum Spree Lyrics by Shane Pendergast

Place to the Name

2020

[Verse 1]
Grandpa played some very fine fiddle
But he's grown old now and his hands are brittle
So Grandpa sits in the kitchen and diddles
Come-a-hi-yi-diddle-i-day
[Chorus]
With a hi-yi-diddle just a jiggin' the tune
And the ay-ray-riddles start fillin' the room
There's a wee little fella bouncin' 'round on his knee
No fiddles at the tiddle-dum spree
[Verse 2]
When Grandpa was a wee little lad
There was no fiddle in the old homestead
Once the family went to bed
He'd be off to the old barn dance
[Verse 3]
Hе was far too young to dosey-doe
He'd sit out and listеn by the hall window
Diddlin' right along to every note
Come-a-hi-yi-diddle-i-day
[Chorus]
With a hi-yi-diddle just a jiggin' the tune
He'd follow that fiddle with a bit of tolut
Just a wee little fella from L'acadie
No fiddles at the tiddle-dum spree
[Verse 4]
Grandpa saved up his pocket-change
Bought himself a fiddle, learned how to play
To the barn dance stage, he made his way
While the folks danced down below
[Verse 5]
He fiddled so hard that he broke a string
But he thought why not? And as quick as a wink
Gave a little diddle and they kept dancing
Come-a-hi-yi-diddle-i-day
[Chorus]
With a hi-yi-diddle just a jiggin' the tune
And the ay-ray-riddles started fillin' the room
Everybody dancing at the chevarie
No fiddles at the tiddle-dum-spree
[Verse 6]
Grandpa played some very fine fiddle
But he's grown old now and his hands are brittle
So Grandpa sits in the kitchen and diddles
Come-a-hi-yi-diddle-i-day
[Chorus]
With a hi-yi-diddle just a-jiggin' the tune
And the ay-ray-riddles start a fillin' the room
There's a wee little fella bouncin' 'round on his knee
No fiddles at the tiddle-dum spree
