Answer

There is an inn, a merry old inn

Beneath an old grey hill

And there they brew a beer so brown

That the Man in the Moon himself came down

One night to drink his fill.

The ostler has a tipsy cat

That plays a five-stringed fiddle;

And up and down he runs his bow,

Now squeaking high, now purring low,

Now sawing in the middle.

The landlord keeps a little dog

That is mighty fond of jokes

When there's good cheer among the guests

He cocks and ear at all the jests

And laughs until he chokes.

They also keep a horned cow

As proud as any queen;

But music turns her head like ale,

And makes her wave her tufted tail

And dance upon the green.

And O! the rows of silver dishes,

And the store of silver spoons!

For Sunday there's a polished pair,

And these they polish up with care

On Saturday afternoons.

The Man in the Moon was drinking deep,

And the cat began to wail

A dish and a spoon on the table danced,

The cow in the garden madly pranced,

And the little dog chased his tail.

The Man in the Moon took another mug

And then rolled beneath his chair;

And there he dozed and dreamed of ale,

Till in the sky the stars were pale,

And dawn was in the air.

The ostler said to his tipsy cat:

'The white horses of the Moon,

They neigh and champ in their silver bits;

But their master's been and drowned his wits,

And the Sun'll be rising soon!'

So the cat on his fiddle played hey-diddle-diddle,

A jig that would wake the dead:

He squeaked and sawed and quickened the tune

While the landlord shook the Man in the Moon:

'Its after three!' he said.

They rolled the Man slowly up the hill

And bundled him into the Moon,

While his horses galloped up in rear

And the cow came capering like a deer

And a dish ran up with the spoon.

Now quicker the fiddle went deedle-dum-diddle;

The dog began to roar,

The cow and the horses stood on their heads;

The guests all bounded from their beds

And danced upon the floor.

With a ping and a pong the fiddle-strings broke!

The cow jumped over the moon!

And the little dog laughed to see such fun,

And the Saturday dish went off at a run

With the silver Sunday spoon.

The round Moon rolled behind the hill

As the Sun raised up her head.

She hardly believed her fiery eyes;

For though it was day, to her surprise

They all went back to bed!
