Sing a Song of Six Pence

Sing a song of sixpence,
(make circle with hands)

A pocket full of rye;

Four and twenty blackbirds

All baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened,
(open hands)

The birds began to sing;
(flutter fingers)

Wasn't that a dainty dish

To set before the King?

The King was in his counting-house,
(cup hand)

Counting out his money;
(pretend to pick up money)

The Queen was in the parlor

Eating bread and honey.
(make eating motions)

The maid was in the garden
Hanging out the clothes;
(extend arms)

When down came a blackbird,
(flutter down one hand)

And snipped off her nose!
(nip nose)

Two Little Blackbirds

Two Little Blackbirds sitting on a Hill
(hold both hands up)

One named Jack
(hold up one hand)

The other named Jill
(hold up the other hand)

Fly away Jack, fly away Jill
(hands behind back)

Come back Jack, come back Jill
(hands back in front)
