Subject: RE: Obit: Larry La Prise (Hokey Pokey/Cokey) 2003
Down on the carpet we shall kneel,
Till the grass grows round our heel:
Stand up straight upon your feet;
Choose the one you love so sweet.

Now they're married life and joy
First a Girl and then a boy
Seven years after Seven years to come
Georgie, georgie, kiss and run

At school playtime the children would form a circle while chanting the Above lines. One person would be in the middle and during the first verse he/she would choose a person of the opposite sex from the circling children. At the end of the second verse they would kiss and the original boy/girl would join the circle and all would be repeated again while the second (chosen) person would, in turn, choose a partner from the circle and so on
