Here sits the Lord Mayor, (_touching forehead_)
Here sit his two men, (_eyes_)
Here sits the cock, (_right cheek_)
Here sits the hen, (_left cheek_)
Here sit the little chickens, (_tip of nose_)
Here they all run in; (_mouth_)

Given as usually known to children. In some
older versions the word "craft" was used
instead of "sport," thus making a rhyme. There
is an old story of an overly serious parent who
was greatly disturbed by the evident
exaggerations in this jingle. After calling the
attention of his children to the offensive
improbabilities, the good man suggested the
following "revised version."

Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped _under_ the moon;
The little dog _barked_,
To see the sport,
And the _cat_ ran after the spoon!

Hey! diddle, diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon;
The little dog laughed
To see such sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
