Full Lyrics
Oranges and lemons, Say the bells of St. Clement's. You owe me five farthings, Say the bells of St. Martin's. When will you pay me? Say the bells of Old Bailey. When I grow rich, Say the bells of Shoreditch. Here comes a candle To light you to bed. Here comes a chopper To chop off your head!
