Skipping round and round
In a circle to and fro
Come together. Make a circle
Clap your hands. Come on. Let’s go.
The ring that you gave me
Wasn’t real and it broke.
The attention that you paid me, it was only as a joke
So come. Let’s make a circle.
Skipping round and round and round
Sing us all a verse…
“Star light. Star bright. The first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might. Have the wish I wish tonight.”
Say “good-bye.” Come back tomorrow.
Skipping round and round
In a circle to and fro
Come together. Make a circle
Clap your hands. Come on. Let’s go.
The ring that you gave me
Wasn’t real and it broke.
The attention that you paid me, it was only as a joke
So come. Let’s make a circle.
Skipping round and round and round
Sing us all a verse…
“Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack
All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back
She asked her mother, mother, mother
For fifty cents, cents, cents
To see the elephants, elephants, elephants
Jump over the fence, fence, fence
They jumped so high, high, high
They touched the sky, sky, sky
And didn’t come back, back, back
Till the fourth of July, July, July.”
Say “good-bye.” Come back tomorrow.
Skipping round and round
In a circle to and fro
Come together. Make a circle
Clap your hands. Come on. Let’s go.
The ring that you gave me
Wasn’t real and it broke.
The attention that you paid me, it was only as a joke
Come. Enter the circle
Skipping round and round and round
Sing us all a verse…
The neighbor’s hen lays golden eggs.
She lays one, she lays two, she lays three, she lays four
She lays 1,000!
Say “good-bye.” Come back tomorrow!
