Senoufou Children's Street Songs (179* d) RE: Children's Street Songs 27 Apr 17

While teaching in Edinburgh, 1960's, I was amazed to find the same song, but up there, they sang, "We all clap the dog!" This didn't mean applause, but 'clap' meant to pat.

In Norfolk, the same game is known today, but here they sing "We all coax the dog!" (nothing to do with persuading, just stroking)

I just wonder how many regional variations there are for stroking/patting a dog in UK!
