Lyrics:
The Queen of Hearts
She made some tarts,
All on a summer’s day.
The Knave of Hearts,
He stole the tarts,
And took them clean away.
The King of Hearts,
Called for the tarts,
And beat the Knave full sore.
The Knave of Hearts
Brought back the tarts,
And vowed he’d steal no more.
Additional versions:
Version 1
The Queen of Hearts
She made some tarts,
All on a summer’s day.
The Knave of Hearts,
He stole the tarts,
And took them clean away.
The King of Hearts,
Called for the tarts,
And beat the Knave full sore.
The Knave of Hearts
Brought back the tarts,
And vowed he’d steal no more.

Version 2
The Queen of Hearts she made some Tarts Upon a Summer’s day,
The Knave of Hearts he saw those Tarts and Stole them all away; and stole them all away;
The King of Hearts heard of those Tarts, and To the Knave did say;
You Knave of Hearts restore the Tarts,
Or else for them you pay; or else for them you pay
