Up To Date Version of An Old Nursery Rhyme Lol
Sings a song of sixpence
A pocket full of rye
4 and 20 blackbirds were baked in a pie
The king was in the counting house counting out his money
The queen was in the pantry eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden pegging out the clothes
Along came a blackbird and pecked off her nose
Is this how the modern version would be
Sing a song for sixpence no chance of that
A bread roll full of Turkey not a tart
The king was looking for his wallet
The queen had taken it to town
The maid wanted paying for her services
Threatened with a face job if she didn't calm down
