[C] one [G] night to drink his fill. _ _
_ _ _ _ The hostler has a [D] tipsy cat that plays a five-string fiddle,

[G] but Sunday [C] there's a [D] special [F] pair, and [C] these they polish [E] up with care [C] on [D] Saturday [G] afternoons. _ _ _
_ _ The man in the moon was [C] drinking [D] deep, and [Em] the cat [Bm] began to [G] wail,
a dish and [C] spoon on the [D] table danced, the [C] cow in the [D] garden madly [Em] pranced,
and [C] the little dog [G] chased his tail.
_ _ _ _ _ The man in the moon [C] took another [D] mug, _ [Em] and then [Bm] rolled beneath [D] his chair,
_ [B] _ _
[G] and there he dozed [C] and [D] dreamed of ale, [F] till [C] in the sky [Bm] the stars [Em] were pale,
_ and dawn was in [G] the air.
_ _ _ _ _ Then the oster said [Am] to his tipscat, the white [Bm] horses of the moon,

[G] _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _ They [Em] rolled the man slowly up the hill, and [Bm] bundled him into [D] the moon,
[G] while his horses [C] galloped off in [D] freer, [F] and the cow [C] came [D] capering [Em] like a [F#] deer,
and a [G] dish ran up with a spoon. _ _ _ _ _
Now quick of the fiddle [C] went diddle [G] dum diddle, the dog began [D] to roar,
[G] the cow and the [C] horses stood [D] on their heads,
[F] the [C] guests all [D] bounded [Em] from their [C] beds, and [D] danced [G] upon the floor. _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] [G] With a ping and a pong [C] the fiddle [G] strings [Em] broke, the [Bm] cow jumped over the [D] moon,
[G] and the little dog laughed to [Am] see such [F] fun,
