The Tailor and the Mouse

"The Tailor and the Mouse" (Roud 16577) is an English folk song.

Lyrics

There was a tailor had a mouse
Hi diddle um come feed-al
They lived together in one house
Hi diddle um come feed-al

Chorus (after each verse)
—Hi diddle um come tarum tirum,
—Through the town of Ramsey,
—Hi diddle um come over the lea,
—Hi diddle um come feed-al

The tailor thought his mouse was ill
Hi diddle um come feed-al
He gave him part of a blue pill
Hi diddle um come feed-al

The tailor thought the mouse would die
Hi diddle um come feed-al
He baked him in an apple pie
Hi diddle um come feed-al

The pie was cut, the mouse ran out
Hi diddle um come feed-al
The tailor chased him all about
Hi diddle um come feed-al

The tailor found his mouse was dead
Hi diddle um come feed-al
So he bought another one in his stead
Hi diddle um come feed-al

gollark: How bad.
gollark: First-past-the-post is fairly terrible for encouraging more than 2 parties to exist.
