A Little cock sparrow sat on a green tree,
And he chirruped, he chirruped, so merry was he .
A naughty boy came with his wee bow and arrow,
Determined to shoot this little cock sparrow.

This little cock sparrow shall make me a stew,
And his giblets shall make me a little pie too.
Oh, no, said the sparrow, I won’t make a stew!
So he flapped his wings, and away he flew.
