(Comment by Mrs. Apple: "This is an old play-party song, and it's 'Chicken In the Bread Pan'.")

Chicken in the bread pan
Scratching out dough,
"Granny, will your dog bite?"
"No, child, no."
"Granny, will your hen peck?"
"No, child, no.
Pappy cut her bill off
A long time ago."

Also found in Brown, Vol. III, #158, "Chicken in the Bread Tray."
