Oranges and lemons.

I have this nursery rhyme stuck in my head for the last two days. The last I heard the rhyme is probably when I was 7 or 8 years old.

I just need to let it out.

"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 will that be?" say the bells of Stepney

"I'm sure I don't know", says the great bell of Bow

I googled the nursery rhyme, but it turned out that there are many different versions of the rhyme and different version of the song. But the above is the one that I remember.

You know how sometimes people read too much into the rhymes and find slurs in nursery rhymes? I'm still trying to figure this one out.

Here is the video from leapnlzrds in youtube, but the version I remember does not have the 'dong, dong, dong, dong', imitating the bell chimes.
