Fiddledeedee And The Bumblebee
‘T was Fiddledeedee who put to sea
With a rollicking buccaneer Bumblebee:
An acorn-cup was their hollow boat
A rakish craft was their acorn-boat
And their sail a butterfly’s wing;
Their mast, a bit o’ the stem of an oat,
A jaunty jib was this bit of an oat,
And their rudder a hornet’s sting,
By jing!
Their rudder a hornet’s sting.
In an acorn-cup they put to sea,
Did Fiddledeedee and the Bumblebee.
‘We’ll sail to the Isles of Tweedledumdee,’
Quoth Fiddledeedee to the Bumblebee:
So they steered past the Isles of Cream and Ice
Oh, cold were the Isles of Cream and Ice
And came to the Sea of Ginger Beer;
And there, by the City of Sugar and Spice
The sweet, sweet City of Sugar and Spice
Their acorn-boat upset, my dear,
I hear
Their acorn boat upset, my dear.
‘Good-by to the Isles of Tweedledumdee,’
Said Fiddledeedee to the Bumblebee.
