Hickory dickory diddle
the cat and the mouse play fiddle
they sat on the clock
they found on the rock
while the spoon danced in the middle.

Hickory dickory dock 
the mouse broke that clock 
it should have struck one 
and it won't stick two 
so he bugged the old lady in the shoe. 

Hickory dickory dock
the cow jumped over the clock
he took the spoon
who wished for the moon
hickory dickory dock.

Hickory dickory diddle,
the cat played the fiddle
he played the great tune
that woke up the moon
witnessing the dish and the spoon.
