Who kill’d Cock Robin?
I said the sparrow,
With my bow and arrow.
I kill’d Cock Robin.
Who caught his blood?
I, said the fish,
With my little dish—
I caught his blood.

This is the fish
That held the dish.
Who saw him die?
I, said the fly
With my little eye—
I saw him die.

This is the fly
That saw him die.
Who made his shroud?
I, said the beetle,
With my little needle—
I made his shroud.

This is the beetle,
With his little needle.

Who’ll be the Parson?
I, said the rook,
With my little book—
I will be the Parson.
