Song 1: A Cat came dancing
A CAT came dancing
Out of the barn
With a fiddle under her arm;
She could play nothing
But fiddle cum fee;
The mouse has married the bumblebee
Play cat! Dance mouse!
We’ll have a jig in our good house.
Play cat! Dance Mouse!
We’ll have a jig in our good house.

A PIG came dancing
Out of the barn
With a drum under his arm;
He could play nothing
But diddle dum dee
The mouse has married the bumblebee
Play cat! Dance mouse!
We’ll have a jig in our good house.
Play cat! Dance Mouse!
We’ll have a jig in our good house.

A COW came dancing out of the barn
With a horn under her arm.
She could play nothing
But tootle tum tee
The mouse has married the bumblebee.
Play cat! Dance mouse!
We’ll have a jig in our good house.
Play cat! Dance mouse!
We’ll have a jig in our good house.

Story: ‘Jiggy Pig’
Once upon a dancing time there was a pig whose favourite dance was a jig. When Jiggy hears that the Queen is having a party, she decides to dance at the palace. On the way there, she meets Doug the dog who wants to play his drum too.
The joining in phrase is: HEY DIDDLE DIG, THE PIG DID A JIG, WITH A JIGGY JIG JIG!
This is a more complex phrase than so practise it with your group first.

Rhyme: 'Hey Diddle Diddle'
Hey Diddle Diddle
The cat played a fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Hey Diddle Dum
The dog played a drum
The cow jumped over the moon
The little cat laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
