Sammy Soapsuds
Diddley-Diddley-Dumpty
DIDDLEY-DIDDLEY-DUMPTY,
The cat ran up the plum-tree,
Half a crown
To fetch her down,
Diddley-diddley-dumpty.
When little Sammy Soapsuds
Went out to take a ride,
In looking over London Bridge,
He fell into the tide.
His parents never having taught
Their loving Sam to swim,
The tide soon got the mastery,
And made an end of him.
