Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Lyrics. One of the most famous English-language lullabies, based on an early 19th-century poem by Jane Taylor set to a melody of French origin. Its simplicity and sweetness have made it a global bedtime classic. The words began as a poem called ‘The Star,’ published in 1806 in a collection Jane Taylor wrote with her sister Ann, and the now-famous melody was borrowed from a French tune, ‘Ah! vous dirai-je, Maman,’ the very same one Mozart used decades earlier as the basis for a set of piano variations. Here you will find the full lyrics, meaning, and chords.
