This game can be played by any number of children. The players form a ring by clasping hands; they then dance round singing the first verse, which after the second verse serves as a chorus.
“Here we dance lubin, loo, Here we dance lubin, light, Here we dance lubin, loo, On a Saturday night.”
While singing the second verse, the children stop, unclasp their hands and suit their actions to the words contained in the verse.
“Put all your right hands in, Take all your right hands out,
Shake all your right hands together.
And turn yourselves about.”
Each child while singing this first stretches her right arm towards the centre of the ring, then draws the same arm back as far as possible, next shakes or swings her right hand, and when the last line is sung she turns right round. The children then once more join hands, and commence dancing, at the same time singing the chorus. The game proceeds as before until all the verses have been sung. Here are the remaining verses:—
“Here we dance lubin, loo, Here were dance lubin, light, Here we dance lubin, loo, On a Saturday night.
“Put all your left hands in,
Take all your left hands out,
Shake all your left hands together, And turn yourselves about.
