Bright And Beautiful Things Lyrics - Ralph Mctell

Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet, 

And eating her curds and her whey. 

And along came a spider and sat down beside her 

And frightened Miss Muffet away. 

Oh, what a shame. 

Oh, who do you blame ? 

The spider soon finished his web, 

And the rain came down, and hung it with diamonds. 

And a bird flew along, with the stroke of his wing 

Broke the web, he and the spider. 

Oh, what a shame. 

Oh, who do you blame ? 

The bird flew up high into the sky, 

And the sun lit the tips of his wet wings with fire. 

And a man with a gun shot him down to the ground, 

And went home and sung in the choir.
