Best Answer

A woman named Jane Taylor wrote the modern English lyrics as "The Star" in her 1806 book, Rhymes for the Nursery. Before this the melody was used for a French folk song titled "Ah! Vous dirai-je Maman". There are several versions all starting with the same two lines. The oldest known printing of the melody is in Les Amusements d'une Heure et Demey, by a man named Bouin in 1761. The oldest printing combining the French song with the tune was in 1774, in the Receuil de Romances, Vol. 2 by an M. de Lusse where it was titled "La Confidence". In 1785, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart published his famous Ah! vous dirai-je Maman Variations. Many people mistakenly believe he composed the piece when it was a commonly heard tune during his visit to Paris in 1778.

As a general rule, all works published before 1923 are now in the public domain. Recent individual performances (within the period of copyright protection) of the song may be protected by copyright. In this case, the lyrics and music for "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" are in the public domain.
