Thread Name: Lyr Req: Grand Old Duke of York
Subject: RE: Grand Old Duke of York lyrics
In the 40s in NZ we used the same words as Makay, and like others I don't recall any more. The dance was as described by Alex, except I don't recall the snared couple kissing. I'm whistling the tune now, if anyone is listening ... ;)
Those old kids' games certainly got round the world pretty much intact.
