[Verse 1]
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
Wasn't that a dainty dish
To set before the king?

[Verse 2]
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 down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose

[Verse 3]
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
Wasn't that a dainty dish
To set before the king?

[Alternate Verse]
They sent for the king's doctor
Who sewed it on again
He sewed it on so neatly
The seam was never seen

[Alternate Verse]
There was such a commotion
That little Jenny wren
Flew down into the garden
And put it back again
