The Cat And The Moon

A G A G There’s an inn of old renown A G A Where they brew a beer so brown A G A G Moon came rolling down the hill A G E A One Hevnsday night to drink his fill. A D G On a three-stringed fiddle there A G Played the Ostler’s cat so fair A D G The hornèd Cow that night was seen A E A To dance a jig upon the green. E Called by the fiddle to the E Middle of the muddle where the A Cow with a caper sent the D G Small dog squealing. E Moon in a fuddle went to E Huddle by the griddle but he A Slipped in a puddle and the G D World went reeling. A D Downsides went up- hey! A E Outsides went wide. A As the fiddle D Played a twiddle A E A And the Moon slept till Sterrenday. A D Upsides went west- hey! A E Broadsides went boom. A With a twiddle on the fiddle D In the middle by the griddle A E A And the Moon slept till Sterrenday. G A G A G A G E D (2x) A D G Dish from off the dresser pranced, A D G Found a spoon and gaily danced. A D G Horses neighed and champed their bits A G E A For the bloodshot Moon had lost his wits. A D G Well, cow jumped over, Dog barked wild, A D G Moon lay prone and sweetly smiled. A D G Ostler cried, “Play faster, Cat! A E A Because we all want to dance like that.” E Gambol and totter till you’re E Hotter than a hatter and you A Spin all akimbo D G Like a windmill flailing. E Whirl with a clatter till you E Scatter every cotter and the A Strings start a-pinging as the G D World goes sailing. A D Downsides go up- hey! A E Outsides go wide. A You can clatter D With your platter A E A But the Moon slept till Sterrenday. A D Upsides go west- hey! A E Broadsides go boom. A With a batter and a clatter D You can shatter every platter A N.C E A But the Moon slept till Sterrenday.
