Sing A Song of Sixpence
Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye...
Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye...
Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye;
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie;
When the pie was open’d,
The birds began to sing;
Now wasn’t that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?
The king was in his counting-house
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlour
Eating bread and honey;
The maid was in the garden
Hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird,
And pecked off her nose.
