Notes.

The choruses above I’ve written phonetically
What follows is closer to the original

With me too-ry-ah
Fol-de-diddle-dah
Me Day-re fol-de-diddle
Dai-rie oh.

The final line in 8.

Saying “Blow out the candle!”

was changed to

Saying “I hope that you are able!”

as this version is closer to
the intent of the original song.
