"Oranges and lemons", say the bells of St. Clement's

[lovingboth]

You probably know this nursery rhyme.

It has more verses than are usually heard in the playground, and one of JoJo's favourite books has them all. I can make

Pancakes and fritters
Say the bells of St. Peter's

rhyme by pronouncing the name of the church as 'Pit-ers'.

But

Maids in white aprons
Say the bells at St Catherine's

??? I don't think so. Anyone?

Oh, that's sweet! i like it just as it is, even without the rhyme. Does the book have great pictures?

Sure, you just pronounce both the "o" and the "i" as schwas.
