Here's a favorite nursery rhyme that is popular with young and old. Sing along with this zippy version. Sing a Song of Sixpence Lyrics: 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 Now wasn’t 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 parlor, Eating bread and honey The maid was in the garden, Hanging out the clothes There came along a blackbird And pecked off her nose.
