Subject: Lyr Add: IN AND OUT THE WINDOWS
I didn't find them here, but here is what I did find:
In and out the windows
The children joined hands to form a circle, then they raised their arms to form the 'windows'. A child was chosen by mutual consent to weave in and out the windows as the children sang the first verse of the rhyme,
In and out the windows In and out the windows In and out the windows As you have done before.
As they sang the second verse of the rhyme, the chosen child stopped in front of one of the players, who became the playmate,
Stand and face your playmate Stand and face your playmate Stand and face your playmate As you have done before.
When the third verse was sung, the two children joined hands and danced round together in the circle,
Join hands with your playmate Join hands with your playmate Join hands with your playmate As you have done before.
Another child was chosen to start the game, and it was usually continued until all had been given a turn.
Take her off to London Take her off to London Take her off to London As you have done before.
