Little Miss Muffet

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey.
Along came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away.

    There is also an alternative set of lyrics which has been taught in some countries where whey is not a common food stuff.

    Alternative Lyrics

    Little Miss Muffet
    Sat on a tuffet
    Eating her curds and pie.
    Along came a spider
    Who sat down beside her
    And frightened Miss Muffet away

    Little Miss Muffet
    Sat on a tuffet
    Eating green grapes by the bunch.
    Until up in the air,
    Flew a birdy, so fair;
    And spoiled Miss Muffet’s lunch.
