Papa Yabo - Hey, Diddle Diddle

[@MartijnHover]

Children usually first encounter “literature” in the form of nursery rhymes. It's a shame that the magical realism of these little ditties has got lost in so much of modern literature for grown-ups. The lyrics for this song were inspired by one of these tunes. Hey, Diddle, Diddle Hey, diddle, diddle The cat played the fiddle And told me a riddle Hey, diddle, diddle The cow jumped over the moon The dish ran away with the spoon The morning broke too soon Hey, diddle, diddle Hey, diddle, diddle The cat played the fiddle It was the morning after The dog howled with laughter His master was a grafter Hey, diddle, diddle
