Version 1
Lyrics
(Folk song / Nursery rhyme)
1. Simple Simon pet a pieman going to the fair
Said Simple Simon to the pieman,
“Let me taste your ware, oh let me taste your ware.”
2. Said the pieman to Simple Simon, “Show me first your penny,”
Said Simple Simon to the pieman, “Indeed I have not any, indeed I have not any.”
