A little cock sparrow sat on a green tree

And he chirruped, he chirruped, so merry was he.

A naughty boy came with his wee bow and arrow.

Says he, “I will shoot this little cock sparrow.

 

His body will make me a nice little stew

And his giblets will make me a little pie too.”

“Oh no,” said the sparrow, “I won’t make a stew,”

So he clapped his wings and away he flew.
