Hello Anil,
That's a line from a song. You can understand it to mean
One (is sold for) a penny, two (are sold for) a penny, (I'm singing about) hot cross buns.
Songs, like other forms of poetry, don't follow grammatical rules.
Use "only" as close to the thing you want to modify. If you write a few sentences using it, we can take a look at your placement.

But I don't think it's not grammatical because it's a song - it's just not a sentence. It's a sales pitch. The song goes on to say 'If you have no daughters give them to your sons' - which makes it clear that it's not an 'ungrammatical' sentence but a salesman's cry (a sort of vocal advertisement).
I cannot find verb in this sentence
