Sweet Little Girl Nursery Rhyme

Missy, missy little girl
With your blonde hair in a curl
Daddy's baby, momma's dream
Come let us catch a moonbeam

A moonbeam for your night light
A shooting star your wishing rights
Daddy's baby, momma's dream
Let us catch and hold a moonbeam

 
To the rhythm of : 
Fishy, fishy in the brook
Daddy caught him with a hook
Momma cooked him in the pan
And I ate him like a man

A nursery rhyme that my mother taught me as a child...
