Sing! Sing! What Shall I Sing?

Sing! sing! what shall I sing?
The cat's run away with the pudding-bag string.
Notes
Here's a longer version from The Real Mother Goose (1916):
Sing, sing, what shall I sing?
Cat's run away with the pudding-string!
Do, do, what shall I do?
The cat has bitten it quite in two.
