of cats and dogs and polliwogs and toadstools by the tree
I found my love looking far above once upon they sat on knee
tweet di-di-di tweet di-di-di tweet di-di-di dum
sang a tune for love's full swoon upon my tattered drum
of mice and men and goats in pen that make noise for all to hear
there sits a flute on player's lute whistling whence upon an ear
toot dum-dum-dum toot dum-dum-dum toot dum-dum-dum di
played Pan's tune for love's full swoon like heaven's bells do ping
of day and night where owls fight and flitter in the dark
all creatures fall whe'er great or small and then the angels hark
ho la-ti-da ho la-ti-da ho la-ti-da-ti-la
the chorus sang for lover's lost pang whilst the dead be carried on lark
of cats and dogs and polliwogs I lay my baby down
with whining harp and pond of carp I put them in the ground
sob-sob-sob, weep-weep-weep, sob-weep-sob-weep-sob sniffle
my dark cloaked instrument walks away in the rain wearing a lonely frown.
