The Connecticut Peddler

Lyrics

(American folk song)

Refrain
I’m a peddler, I’m a peddler,
I’m a peddler from Connecticut,
I’m a peddler, I’m a peddler,
And don’t you want to buy?

Many goods have I in store,
So listen while I name them o’er,
So many goods you never saw before,
So very many goods you never saw before,
So listen while I name them o’er.

Here are pins, papers and needles and pins,
Tracts upon popular sins,
Any of which I will sell you.

And here are the seeds of asparagus,
Lettuce, beets, onions, and peppergrass
From the Limited Society,
Seeds of all kinds and variety.
Da, da, da, tiddle-dum, tiddle-dum,
Rum, tum tiddle-dum, tiddle-dee,
Rum, tum tiddle-dum, tiddle-dee,
Rinktum, te tiddle-dee, tiddle-dum,
Tiddle-dee, faddle whee. Refrain
