lyrics

Candy in your dish
grant a birdy's wish
the green green grass holds a path
for your feet

Robins in the street
four and twenty meet
and we sing as we fly
that old king he must die
and if you do the deed
you can fly with me

When your candy's gone
sing the robins' song
you can fly as you sing
'murder the king'

When he's in his cups
slice that devil up
he will stagger and he'll cry
with a dagger in his eye
and when the deed is done
we'll have some fun

Robins on the wing
curtains for the king
put a bug in his bed
put a cracker in his head
and when the deed is done
we'll have some fun

Sugar in your bowl
solace for your soul
the green green grass holds a path
for your feet

Chatter on the breeze
the robins' song is sweet
when that old boy is dead
and there's daisies where he bled
and when the work is done
we can have some fun
