manners for husbands - excerpt mother goose lyrics

excerpt mother goose lyrics
sing a song of sixpence
a pocket full of rye
four and twenty blackbirds
baked in a pie
and when the pie was opened
the birds began to sing;
wasn’t this a dainty dish
to set before the king

the king was in the parlor
counting out his money
the queen was in the kitchen
eating bread and honey
the maid was in the garden
hanging out her clothes
then came a little blackbird
and pecked off her nose
