about

This children's song by The Speks is a medley of nursery rhymes "Hey Diddle Diddle" and "Johnny Sat Down" set to Irish music. Sing along and sing loud!

lyrics

Johnny sat down and he told an old story
He told it and told it and told it again:

"Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
The little dog laughed to see such fun
And the dish ran away with the spoon"

“Be Gob”, said old Biddy, “You tell it so well
Why don’t you sit down and tell it again?”

So...Johnny sat down and he told an old story
He told it and told it and told it again...
