A Scottish knee-bouncing rhyme promising a little fish on a little dish once the boat comes home. Its steady beat makes it a natural for jogging a baby along in time.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
Dance to your daddie,
My bonnie laddie;
Dance to your daddie, my bonnie lamb;
You shall get a fishy,
On a little dishy;
You shall get a fishy, when the boat comes home.
