唱一首六便士之歌，
袋子里装满黑麦；
二十四只黑画眉，
被放在派里面烤！
当派被剥开，
画眉开始唱歌；
那可不是放在国王桌前，
十分可口的一餐吗？
国王在帐房数钱；
王后在客厅吃面包蜂蜜。
女仆在花园晒衣；
一只黑画眉飞来，
啄走了她的鼻子。

and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence
against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat,
which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.

走在一条长一里的扭曲的路上
手里那着扭曲的六便士
踏在扭曲的台阶上
