With my power I stop bread's spread,
I am even that on which you tread,
Flip me over and you shall sing,
Fervid praises fit for a king.

Here you have the full story of sixpence song. When the King opened the crust of the pie that Gilligren has prepared with twenty four blackbirds inside it, the birds seeing the sky began to sing, and the King was really amused and began to praise Gilligren.
