Ever seen a blind man cross the road?
trying to make the other side
Ever seen a young girl growing old?
trying to make herself a bride
So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Once I was a young man
And all I thought I had to do was smile
well You are still a young girl
And you've bourne everything in style
So once you think you're in you're out
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And drink a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake 'em all in a pie
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you

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
Now wasn't that a pretty dish
To set before the King.
There's some more verses too. It's called Sing a Song of Sixpence and it's a traditional English folk song....so no particular artist.

Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye
4 and 20 black birds baked in a pie
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing
Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king
The king was in the 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 along came a black bird and pecked of her nose

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.
Hearing the commotion, little Jenny Wren
Flew down to the garden and put it on again!

It was a nursery rythm, I believe. Can't remember who wrote it though. And I think the title was something like 4 and 20 black birds...I think
