Words to the song:

 

Five currant buns in a baker’s shop.

Big and round with a cherry on the top,

Along came a boy with a penny one day,

Bought a currant bun and took it away.

 

Four currant buns in a baker’s shop.

Big and round with a cherry on the top,

Along came a boy with a penny one day,

Bought a currant bun and took it away.
