“Old King Cole is a merry old soul,
A merry old soul is he.
He called for his pipe, he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three.
“Every fiddler had a fine fiddle,
A very fine fiddle had he,
And Uncle Wiggily is asked to come
To list to the music with me.”
At the bottom of the letter was Old King Cole’s name, in big letters.
“Well, well!” exclaimed Uncle Wiggily. “I don’t understand. What’s it all about, I wonder?”
