Version 1
Lyrics
(English folk song)
Hot cross buns, hot cross buns
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns
Version 2
Lyrics
Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns!
One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns!
If you have no daughters, give them to your sons!
Version 3
Lyrics
Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns!
One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns!
If you have no daughters, if you have no daughters,
If you have no daughters, give them to your sons!
But if you have none of these little elves,
Then you must eat them all yourselves!
Version 4
Lyrics
Hot cross buns, one a penny buns,
One a penny, Two a penny, Hot cross buns.
Fresh sweet buns, come and buy the buns,
One a penny, Two a penny, fresh sweet buns.
Nice light buns, buy my currant buns,
Come and try them, then you’ll buy them, Nice light buns.
