Oh, there was a lit-tle drum-mer
 4  4    -4  4 -4   5    4
And he loved a one-eyed cook
 4  4    -5  -5   -5 -5   5    5
And he loved her, oh he loved her
   5    5  -4  4  -3  -3”   3  
Though she had a cock-eyed look
 -3” -3   4   4  4   4   4
With her one eye in the pot
 4  -3  -3”-3” -4  4   -3   3
And the oth-er up the chim-ney
-3” -3  4   4   4
With a bow-wow-wow

Fal-lal the dow-a-did-dy, bow-wow-wow
