Boys and girls, come out to play,The moon doth shine as bright as day,Leave your supper, and leave your sleep,And meet your play-fellows in the street;Come with a whoop, and come with a call,And come with a good will, or not at all.Up the ladder and down the wall,A halfpenny roll will serve us… … Oh, bless me! Mary, how is this ?Tour face is very dirty, Miss;I dont expect such hands to seeWhen you come in to dine with me.Make it your habit to be clean,No matter then by whom youre seen, Harem scarem ! diddle ding day,Heres a rumpus—whats to pay ? 40
