tre orsi di peluche scuoiati e crocifissi a parete con rivetti
sul primo un badge con su scritto one
sul terzo un badge con su scritto the other

see how they run
see how they run
they all ran after the farmer’s wife,
who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
did you ever see such a sight in your life,
as three blind mice?
Attempts to read historical significance into the words have led to the speculation that this musical round was written earlier and refers to Queen Mary I of Englan blinding and executing three Protestant bishops, however, the Oxford Martyrs, Ridley, Latimer and Cranmer, were burned at the stake, not blinded; although if the rhyme was made by crypto-Catholics, the mice’s “blindness” could refer to their Protestantism.
