Thread Name: Lyr Req/ADD: I Don't Want to Play in Your Yard
Subject: RE: 'I don't wanna play in your yard!'
The chorus of this song is very similar (maybe the original?) to a clapping game we used to play. The words were: Say say oh playmate, come out and play with me And bring your dollies three, climb up my apple tree Play round my rainbarrel, slide down my cellar door And we'll be jolly friends forevermore one two three four.

We also played a bastardized version (say say oh enemy, come out and fight with me...)children are sick, aren't they? :)
