Hey Diddle Diddle (Crazy Little Song)
Hey Diddle Diddle is a bizarre and funny, but well loved, children’s song. In this remake by Caper Kids Music, the playful and dreamy qualities of the song are captured in the swaying 6/8 feel, smooth vocals, and the surreal lyrics. The extra verses capture the craziness of the original verse and paint a beautiful picture in the listener’s mind. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this arrangement.

Song Lyrics
Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
It’s a crazy fairy tale about the moon
With a cat and a fiddle and a little silver spoon
That ran away with a dish
It all happened so soon
And a dog that laughed it’s strange but true
It’s a crazy crazy crazy little song
It’s a crazy crazy crazy little song
They chased through the clouds, a whirlwind of fur,
The cat with his fiddle, the spoon in a blur
The dog’s belly aching from laughter's delight,
sung out to the stars, what a glorious sight
They climbed on a comet, its tail a bright streak
they flew past the planets at a blistering speed
The moon, a giant cheese, hung low in the sky,
And the cat, with a grin, winked a mischievous eye.
It’s a crazy crazy crazy little song
It’s a crazy crazy crazy little song
He scraped on his fiddle, a jig full of glee,
As the spoon, like a dancer, spun light on the sea.
The dog, singing tunes, joined a cosmic ballet,
A symphony of wonder, a celestial display.
It’s a crazy crazy crazy little song
It’s a crazy crazy crazy little song
Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
