A Song of Six Pence is a nursery rhyme that has come from the ancient books. Children love to hear interesting tales belonging to the bygone eras. This kids song is believed to be inspired from a 16th century form of amusement, where live birds were placed in a pie to fly out when the pie is cut open. A piece of history says that such specially baked pies were part of the entertainment at King Henry's wedding. For contemporary kids, the rhyme offers a chance to not only sing and dance but also to learn and imagine about lives of commoners and royals who lived more than 400 years ago! You never know, the nursery song can even kick up creativity in heads of little ones to make something unique of their own!

Lyrics of the rhyme:
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;
Wasn't that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?

"Oh how lovely!"

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,
When down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose.

*Ouch!*

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;
Wasn't that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?
