Sing A Song Of Sixpence

: FATHER PLAYS AND MOTHER PLAYS
: Boys And Girls Bookshelf

Sing a song of sixpence,

A pocket full of rye;

Four-and-twenty blackbirds

Baked in a pie;

When the pie was opened

The birds began to sing;

Was not 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 parlor,

Eating bread and honey;

The maid was in the garden

Hanging out the clothes;

When up came a blackbird

And nipped off her nose.

(At this line somebody's nose gets nipped.)
