110 - Sing a Song of Six Pence

Sing a song of six pence, 唱首六便士的歌
A pocket full of rye. 口袋裝滿了麥子
Four and twenty blackbirds, 二十四隻燕八哥
Baked in a pie. 烤進一塊派裡
When the pie was opened, 當派被切開
The birds began to sing. 鳥兒開始唱
Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king? 那不成了可口佳餚獻給國王？
The king was in his counting house, 國王在他帳房
Counting out his money. 數著他的錢幣
The queen was in the parlor, 皇后在起居室
Eating bread and honey. 吃麵包和蜂蜜
The maid was in the garden, 女僕在花園裡
Hanging out the clothes. 把衣服晾起來
Down flew a blackbird and pecked off her nose. 一隻燕八哥低飛，啄了她的鼻子

補充：
根據牛津字典的童謠記載，一本1549年出版的義大利食譜記載著，將活鳥藏進派裡面，當派切
開的時候，鳥會飛出來。這道菜的目的在於製造驚喜氣氛，娛樂賓客。
