Simple Simon

Simple Simon met a pieman

Going to the fair;

Says Simple Simon to the pieman

Let me taste your ware

Said the pieman to Simple Simon

Show me first your penny

Said Simple Simon to the pieman

Sir I have not any

Simple Simon went a-fishing

For to catch a whale

All the water he had got

Was in his mother's pail

Simple Simon went to look

If plums grew on a thistle

He pricked his fingers very much

Which made poor Simon whistle
