Sing a song of sixpence,
A bag full of rye;
Four and twenty blackbirds;
Baked in a pie;
When the pie was open'd,
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 parlour,
Eating bread and honey;
