Sing a song of sixpence
An arrangement of the nursery rhyme from John Rutter's 'Five Childhood Lyrics'
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;
Was not 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 parlour,
Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes,
There came a little blackbird
And snapped off her nose.
(Nursery song, arranged by John Rutter)
A Double Celebration
A 55 track celebration to mark 30 years of the Cambridge Singers and the 70th birthday of John Rutter.
