Sing a Song of Sixpence

Tell-Tale-Tit

Tell-tale-tit,
Your tongue shall be slit,
And all the dogs in our town
Shall have a little bit.

Elizabeth, Elspeth, Betsy, and Bess

Elizabeth, Elspeth, Betsy, and Bess,
They all went together to seek a bird's nest.

They found a bird's nest with five eggs in,
They all took one and left four in.

SING a song of sixpence,
Pockets full of rye;
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened
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;

The maid was in the garden
Hanging out the clothes,
Down came a blackbird,
And snapped off her nose.
