Sing A Song Of Sixpence - 1938

James Pitt-Payne, London and Ian Cousins, Opera Australia - 21 Jan 2002

Sing! Sing!
Sing a song, sing a song,
a song of sixpence.
Sing a song of sixpence,
a pocket full of rye;
Four and twenty blackbirds
baked in a pie;
When the pie was open'd
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 bye came a blackbird
and pecked off her nose,
pecked off her nose.
Sing a song of sixpence,
a pocket full of rye;
Four and twenty blackbirds
baked in a pie;
When the pie was open'd
the birds began to sing.
Wasn't that a dainty dish,
wasn't that a dainty dish,
wasn't that a dainty dish
to set before a king?
