Simple Simon met a pie man going to the fair;
Said Simple Simon to the pie man "Let me taste your ware"
Said the pie man to Simple Simon "Show me first your penny"
Said Simple Simon to the pie man "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"
