Oranges and lemons,
Say the bells of Saint Clement`s.
You owe me five farthings,
Say the bells of Saint Martin`s.


When will you pay me?
Say the bells of Old Bailey.
When I grow rich,
Say the bells of Shoreditch.


When will that be?
Say the bells of Stepney.
I do not know,
Say the great bells of Bow.
Here comes a candle to light you to bed,
Here comes a candle to light you to bed.

Pancakes and fritters,
Say the bells of Saint Peter`s.
Two sticks and an apple,
Say the bells of Whitechaple.


Old Father Baldpate,
Say the bells of Aldgate.
Pokers and tongs,
Say the bells of Saint John`s.
Kettles and pans,
Say the bells of Saint Ann`s.


Brickbats and tiles,
Say the great bells of Saint Giles`.
Here comes a candle to light you to bed,
Here comes a candle to light you to bed.
