A snappy, silly rhyme about a princess's lost shoe and a fiddler struck dumb by the whole business. The nonsense sounds, 'Doodle doodle doo', make it a joy to say aloud.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
Doodle doodle doo,
The Princess lost her shoe:
Her Highness hopped,—
The fiddler stopped,
Not knowing what to do.
