Letra de The Dancing Bear

[Verso:]
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
And I said, "I will go with you, my dear."
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
And away I went 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
