Lyrics
0:11Oh it's fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee
0:14The dancing bear ran away with me;
0:18For the organ-grinder he came to town
0:22With a jolly old bear in a coat of brown
0:27And the funny old chap joined hands with me
0:31While I cut a caper and so did he
0:46Then 'twas fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee
0:52I looked at him and he winked at me
0:56And I whispered a word in his shaggy ear
1:01"I will go with you my dear "
1:14Oh it's fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee
1:17The dancing bear ran away with me;
1:21For the organ-grinder he came to town
1:25With a jolly old bear in a coat of brown
1:29Then the dancing bear he smiled and said
1:34Well he didn't say much but he nodded his head
1:38As the organ-grinder began to play
1:43"Over the hills and far away "
1:59With a fiddle-de-dum and a fiddle-de-dee;
2:04Oh I looked at him and he winked at me
2:08And my heart was light and the day was fair
2:13I went away with the dancing bear
2:25Oh 'tis fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee
2:30The dancing bear came back with me;
2:35For the sugar-plum trees were stripped and bare
2:42And we couldn't find cookies anywhere
3:04And the solemn old fellow he sighed and said
3:10Well he didn't say much but he shook his head
3:16While I looked at him and he blinked at me
3:22Till I shed a tear and so did he;
3:26And both of us thought of our supper that lay
3:31Over the hills and far away
3:47Then the dancing bear he took my hand
3:52And we hurried away through the twilight land;
3:56And 'twas fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee
4:00When the dancing bear came back with me
Oh it's fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee The dancing bear ran away with me; For the organ-grinder he came to town With a jolly old bear in a coat of brown And the funny old chap joined hands with me While I cut a caper and so did he Then 'twas fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee I looked at him and he winked at me And I whispered a word in his shaggy ear "I will go with you my dear " Oh it's fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee The dancing bear ran away with me; For the organ-grinder he came to town With a jolly old bear in a coat of brown Then the dancing bear he smiled and said Well he didn't say much but he nodded his head As the organ-grinder began to play "Over the hills and far away " With a fiddle-de-dum and a fiddle-de-dee; Oh I looked at him and he winked at me And my heart was light and the day was fair I went away with the dancing bear Oh 'tis fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee The dancing bear came back with me; For the sugar-plum trees were stripped and bare And we couldn't find cookies anywhere And the solemn old fellow he sighed and said Well he didn't say much but he shook his head While I looked at him and he blinked at me Till I shed a tear and so did he; And both of us thought of our supper that lay Over the hills and far away Then the dancing bear he took my hand And we hurried away through the twilight land; And 'twas fiddle-de-dum and fiddle-de-dee When the dancing bear came back with me
