[UA] The correct blackbirds in a "Sweetie Pie"

Here is the full and original version of the verse. At
least it sounds "correcter" to my dim memories.

Sing a song of sixpence 
 
Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,
Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?
The king was in his counting house counting out his
money,
The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!

Lots of symbolic violence in here.

C.
