Nursery Rhyme. CCCLII. Games.

    Now we dance looby, looby, looby,
    Now we dance looby, looby, light,
    Shake your right hand a little
    And turn you round about.

    Now we dance looby, looby, looby,
    Shake your right hand a little,
    Shake your left hand a little,
    And turn you round about.

    Now we dance looby, looby, looby,
    Shake your right hand a little,
    Shake your left hand a little,
    Shake your right foot a little,
    And turn you round about.

    Now we dance looby, looby, looby,
    Shake your right hand a little,
    Shake your left hand a little,
    Shake your right foot a little,
    Shake your left foot a little,
    And turn you round about.

    Now we dance looby, looby, looby,
    Shake your right hand a little,
    Shake your left hand a little,
    Shake your right foot a little,
    Shake your left foot a little,
    Shake your head a little,
    And turn you round about.

        [Children dance round first, then stop and shake the hand, & c. then turn slowly round, and then dance in a ring again.]
