“Here we dance lubin, loo,
  Here we dance lubin, light,
  Here we dance lubin, loo,
  On a Saturday night.”

While singing the second verse, the children stop, unclasp their hands and suit their actions to the words contained in the verse.

  “I put my right hand in,
  I put my right hand out,
  I give my right hand shake, shake, shake,
  And turn myself about.”

Each child while singing this first stretches her right arm toward the center of the ring, then draws the same arm back as far as possible, next shakes or swings her right hand, and when the last line is sung she turns right round.  The children then once more join hands, and commence dancing, at the same time singing the chorus.  The game proceeds as before until all the verses have been sung.  Here are the remaining verses: 

  “Here we dance the lubin, loo,
  Here we dance lubin, light,
  Here we dance lubin, loo,
  On a Saturday night.

  “I put my left hand in,
  I put my left hand out,
  I give my left hand shake, shake, shake,
  And turn myself about.”

    Chorus.

  “Here we dance lubin, loo,” etc.

  “I put my right foot in,
  I put my right foot out,
  I give my right foot shake, shake, shake,
  And turn myself about.”

    Chorus.

  “Here we dance lubin, loo,” etc.

  “I put my left foot in,
  I put my left foot out,
  I give my left foot shake, shake, shake,
  And turn myself about.”

    Chorus.

  “Here we dance lubin, loo,” etc.

  “I put my own head in,
  I put my own head out,
  I give my own head shake, shake, shake,
  And turn myself about.”

    Chorus.

  “Here we dance lubin, loo,” etc.

  “I put my both hands in,
  I put my both hands out,
  I give my both hands shake, shake, shake,
  And turn myself about.”

    Chorus.

  “Here we dance lubin, loo,” etc.

  “I put my both feet in,
  I put my both feet out,
  I give my both feet shake, shake, shake,
  And turn myself about.”

    Chorus.

  “Here we dance lubin, loo,” etc.

THE LITTLE LADY

For this game a number of pieces of rolled-up paper to represent horns are required.  Whoever makes a mistake in the game has a horn stuck in her hair; or, if little boys are playing, the horns might be stuck behind the ears.

The leader of the game begins by saying to her right hand neighbor:  “Good morning, pretty lady, always pretty; I, a pretty lady, always pretty, come from that pretty lady, always pretty” (here she points to the girl on her left), “to tell you that she owns an eagle with a golden beak.”
