Hey! Diddle, Diddle

Hey Diddle Diddle is a jolly song full of nonsense possibly dating back to as far as 1569. “Over the moon” is an idiom in English to denote being extremely happy, though it's unclear what the cow has to be so euphoric about. “The Cat and the Fiddle” was a popular name for inns during the 16th century. Given all the strange and amusing imagery in this one, it is a fun and challenging nursery rhyme to find gestures for.
