Boys and girls come out to play,
The moon doth shine
as bright as day.
Leave your supper
and leave your sleep,
And join your playfellows
in the street.
Come with a whoop,
and come with a call,
Come with a good will or not at all.
Up the ladder and down the wall,
A tuppenny loaf will serve us all.
You bring milk and I’ll bring flour,
And we’ll have a pudding
in half an hour.
