Hot cross buns are fruit cakes decorated with a white cross on the top. They are served with a butter spread.

Lyrics for 'Hot Cross Buns'

Hot cross buns!
Hot cross buns!
One a penny,
Two a penny,
Hot cross buns!

If you have no daughters,
Give them to your sons.
One a penny,
Two a penny,
Hot cross buns!

If your sons don't like them,
They're the only ones,
One a penny,
Two a penny,
Hot cross buns.

I don't tell jokes
and I don't tell puns,
One a penny,
Two a penny,
Hot cross buns.

Get them while they're hot
and eat them by the ton,
One a penny,
Two a penny,
Hot cross buns.
