Lavender's blue, diddle, diddle,

a
Lavender's blue, diddle, diddle,
Lavender's green;
When I am king, diddle, diddle,
You shall be queen.

b
Who told you so, diddle, diddle,
Who told you so?
'Twas mine own heart, diddle, diddle,
That told me so.

c
Call up your men, diddle, diddle,
Set them to work,
Some to the plow, diddle, diddle,
Some to the fork.

d
Some to make hay, diddle, diddle,
Some to reap corn,
Whilst you and I, diddle, diddle,
Keep the bed warm.

e
Roses are red, diddle, diddle,
Violets are blue;
Because you love me, diddle, diddle,
I will love you.

f
Let the birds sing, diddle, diddle,
And the lambs play;
We shall be safe, diddle, diddle,
Out of harm's way.
