Often times we would play games at these community dances. I remember one game well. The words of the song were:

Weavily Wheat

Your weavily wheat isn't fit to eat
And neither is your barley.
We'll have the best of Boston Wheat
To bake a cake for Charley.

Oh, Charley, he's a fine young man
And Charley, he's a dandy.
And Charley, loves to kiss the girls
Whenever they come handy.

Oh, don't you think he's a fine young man?
Oh, don't you think he's clever?
And don't you think that he and I
Could live in love forever?
