Sing a Song of Sixpence

 

Sing a song of six-pence a pocket full of rye,

Four and twenty black birds baked in a pie,

When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,

Wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the King.

1. The King was in his counting house counting out his money.

2. The Queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey.

3. The maid was in the garden, hanging out the clothes,

All: When down came a black bird and pecked off her nose!

Sing a song of six-pence a pocket full of rye,

Four and twenty black birds baked in a pie,

When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,

Wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the King.

When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,

Wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before the King.
