Oranges and Lemons

Lyrics

(Folk song / Nursery Rhyme)

Oranges and lemons
Say the bells of St. Clements
I owe you five farthings
Say the bells of St. Martins
When will you pay me?
Say the bells at Old Bailey
When I grow rich
Say the bells at Shoreditch
Here comes a candle to light you to bed
Here comes a chopper to chop off your head*
