1. There was a tailor had a mouse
Hi diddle um come feed-al
They lived together in one house
Hi diddle um come feed-al
Hi diddle um come tarum tirum,
Through the town of Ramsey,
Hi diddle um come over the lea,
Hi diddle um come feed-al
The tailor thought his mouse was ill
He gave him part of a blue pill
2. The tailor thought the mouse would die
He baked him in an apple pie
3. The pie was cut, the mouse ran out
The tailor chased him all about
4. The tailor found his mouse was dead
So he bought another one in his stead
