Simple Simon met a pieman
Going to the fair
Said Simple Simon to the pieman
"Let me taste your ware"
Pieman said 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
