	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-houso Counting out his money; The queen was in the parlour Eating bread and honey; The maid was«n the garden, Hanging out the clothes, There came a little blackbird, And snapt off her nose.
