Ladybird Ladybird fly away home

ladybird ladybird fly away home,
Your house in on fire and your children are gone,
All except one and that's little Ann,
For she crept under the frying pan.

 

Farmers knew that Ladybird's were excellent against pests in their crops and it was traditional for them shout out this rhyme before they burnt their fields after a harvest, in deference to the helpful ladybird.
