Lyrics Song of Sixpence - Farmees

Farmees, I have a sixpence
Let's sing a song about them

Sing a song of sixpence a packet full of rye
Four and 20 blackbirds backed in a pie
When the pie was opened, the birds began to sing
Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?

The king was in his counting house, counting all his money
The queen was in the pallor, eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden, hanging out the clothes
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose

Sing a song of sixpence a packet full of rye
Four and 20 blackbirds backed in a pie
When the pie was opened, the birds began to sing
Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?

The king was in his counting house, counting all his money
The queen was in the pallor, eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden, hanging out the clothes
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose
