"Weddings and Funerals" is a nursery rhyme or folksong and playground game.
The verse is based on the verses Matthew 11:17 and Luke 7:32 in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.
The exact words of this English nursery rhyme were incorporated as the translation of these verses in the International Standard Version (2008).
[1] In context, the verse was spoken by Jesus as a reproach to those people who rejected both the austere lifestyle and preaching of John the Baptist and his own more accessible ministry.
