He went to the brook, and saw a little duck,

And shot it through the head, head, head.

He carried it home to his old wife Joan,

And bade her a fire to make, make, make,

To roast the little duck he had shot in the brook,

And he’d go and fetch the drake, drake, drake.

Fiddle-de-dee.

Fiddle-de-dee, fiddle-de-dee,

The fly shall marry the humble-bee,

They went to the church, and married was she,
