Little Miss Muffet Lyrics
Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet,
eating her curds and whey.
There came a big spider,
who sat down beside her
and frightened Miss Muffet away!
"Miss Muffet, You don 't have to be frightened of a spider!"
So the next day
Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet,
eating her curds and whey.
There came a big spider
who sat down beside her
and became her good friend that day!
