Simple Simon

Simple Simon is a nursery rhyme.

Lyrics
Simple Simon met a pieman

Going to the fair

Says Simple Simon to the pieman

"Let me taste your ware".

The pieman said to Simple Simon

"Show me first your penny"

Says Simple Simon to the pieman

"Sir, I have not any".

Simple Simon went a fishing

For to catch a whale

All the water he had got

Was in his mother's pail.

Simple Simon went to look

If plums grew on a thistle

He pricked his fingers very much

Which made poor Simon whistle.

He went for water in a sieve

But soon it all fell through

And now poor Simple Simon

Bids you all adieu.
