FIDDLE I FEE

Hey diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle.

The cow jumped over the moon.

Click the banjo to hear the band as you sing

I had a little cat, the cat loved me

I fed my cat under yonder tree

The cat went fiddle I fee

I had a little chicken, the chicken loved me

I fed my chicken under yonder tree

The chicken went chimmey chuck

Cat went fiddle I fee

I had a little duck the duck loved me

I fed my duck under yonder tree

The duck went quack quack, quack quack

Chicken went chimmey chuck, chimmey chuck

Cat went fiddle I fee

I had a little goose, the goose loved me.

I fed my goose under yonder tree

The goose went swishy swashy

Duck went quack quack, quack quack

Chicken went chimmey chuck, chimmey chuck

Cat went fiddle I fee

I had a little guinea, the guinea loved me

I fed my guinea under yonder tree

The guinea went pot rack, pot rack

Goose went swishy swashy

Duck went quack quack, quack quack

Chicken went chimmey chuck, chimmey chuck

Cat went fiddle I fee

I had a little pony, the pony loved me

I fed my pony under yonder tree

The pony went trotta trot, trotta trot

Guinea went pot rack, pot rack

Goose went swishy swashy

Duck went quack quack, quack quack

Chicken went chimmey chuck, chimmey chuck

Cat went fiddle I fee

I had a little rabbit, the rabbit loved me

I fed my rabbit under yonder tree

The rabbit went little jump, little jump

Pony went trotta trot, trotta trot

Guinea went pot rack, pot rack

Chicken went chimmey chuck, chimmey chuck

Cat went fiddle I fee

I had a little turkey, the turkey loved me

I fed my turkey under yonder tree

The turkey went gobble gobble, gobble gobble

Gobble gobble, gobble gobble, gobble gobble glub

And there isn't any more.

GUITAR: D D D A7-D D-A7 D

Play the accumulations in D.

Try making up new verses adding pantomime actions to match:

The dog went, Woof!...Woof!

The pig went, Oink....Oink.

To keep kids on the "barnyard" theme try a dinosaur and discuss why it dosn't fit. Then go ahead and make a new song with only dinosaurs.

Here is a poem written by a third grader following a theme.

PETS by Lisa Ayers

I had a puppy. My puppy loved me.

I fed my puppy under ice cream tree.

My puppy said, "Arf. Arf."

I had a little kitten. My kitten loved me.

I fed my kitten under ice cream tree.

My kitten said, "Meow. Meow." My puppy said, "Arf. Arf."

I had a little snake. My snake loved me.

I fed my snake under ice cream tree.

My snake said, "Ssee. Ssee." My kitten said, "Meow. Meow."

My puppy said, "Arf. Arf."

I had a little bird. My bird loved me.

I fed my bird under ice cream tree.

My bird said, "Chirp. Chirp." My snake said, "Ssee. Ssee."

NO MORE PETS FOR ME!

FARM ANIMALS by Amber Grosse

I had a little pony named Dapple Grey,

Dapple Grey, Dapple Grey.

I fed him lots of hay every day,

every day, every day.

I had a little duck named Slippy, Slippy, Slippy.

He came out of the pond drippy, drippy, drippy.

I had a little cow named Sassy, Sassy, Sassy.

If you smelled his breath it would be grassy, grassy, grassy.

I had a little pig named Pete, Pete, Pete.

And all he did was eat, eat, eat.
