420 blackbirds in a cage and bake them all in a pie
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake and bake them all in a pie
They told me you've been screwed today.
They told me you missed school today.
they sold me you missed cool today
They told me you missed school today.
Drink a bottle full of rice
Drink a bottle full of rye
Drink a bottle full of wine
Drink a bottle full of rye
Ever seen a young girl growing old
Trying to make herself look bright
Ever seen a young girl growing old
Trying to make herself a bride
Once I was a nomad
Once I was a young man
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Granddad had to swear to buy you
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy you
They told me you must go today
They told me you missed school today.
