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 a King.
The King was in his Counting House
Counting out his money.


The Queen was in the parlour
Eating bread and honey.


The maid was in the garden
Hanging out the clothes ...


When down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose.
I'm being chased by Blackbirds.

She made such a commotion that little Jenny Wren
Flew down into the garden and put it on again.

So why did the blackbirds peck off the Maid's nose?

How would you stick on a nose that had fallen off?

Why is eating honey sandwiches bad for you?
