Lyrics
Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet
Eating her curds and whey,
And along came a spider
And sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away.
Oh, oh, what a shame,
Oh, oh, who do you blame.

The spider soon finished his web
And the rain came down
And hung it with diamonds
And a little bird flew along.
With a stroke of his wings,
Broke the web,
He ate the spider.
Oh, oh, what a shame,
Oh, oh, waste of rain.

The bird flew up high into the sky,
And the sun lit the tips of his wings
With fire, and the man with the gun
Shot him down to the ground,
Then went home and sung in the choir.
