sing a song of
VI PENCE
a pocketful
of RYE
4 and 20 blackbirds
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?
guys, there is more to that rhyme
The king was in the 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.
Along came a blackbird
And snipped off her nose.
