Where the cow with a caper sent the small dog squealing

E                        E7

As the fiddle played a twiddle and the moon slept till Sterrenday

And the moon slept till Sterrenday

And you spin all akimbo like a windmill flailing

E                             E7
Whirl with a clatter till you scatter every cotter,
