★ Little Miss Muffet History:

The first recorded version of “Little Miss Muffet” nursery rhyme dates back to the early 19th century England.
It was first printed in the “Songs for the Nursery” collection published in 1805.

The origin of “Little Miss Muffet” is most commonly attributed to Dr. Thomas Muffet, a notorious physician and entomologist from the 16th century, the author of a scientific illustrated guide about insects. “Little Miss Muffet” is about a girl named Patience, who was Dr. Muffet’s stepdaughter. The lyrics probably tell the story of an incident when Patience ran away from her breakfast, being frightened by a spider from Dr. Muffet’s collection. However, this speculation was never proved.

The song had various known versions over the years. Some of the most used titles include: “Little Mary Ester, Sat upon a tester” (1812), “Little Miss Mopsey, Sat in the shopsey” (1842) or “Little Miss Man” (1868) by Peter Doyle (Walt Whitman’s secret partner)
The “Little Miss Muffet” version was interpreted by Dudley Moore during the British comedy stage revue from 1960, Beyond the Fringe.

★ Little Miss Muffet Lyrics:

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey

Along came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away.

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey

Along came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away.

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey

Along came a spider
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away.
