“Friskee, friskee, I was, and I was.”
Known elsewhere as “Now we dance looby, looby, looby.” To play it the children formed a ring and danced around, singing—
“Friskee, friskee, I was, and I was
A drinking of small beer.”
They then stopped suddenly and said, “Right arms in!” (all were extended towards the centre of the circle); “Right arms out!” (all wheeled round with arms outstretched in the contrary direction); “Shake yourselves a little and little and turn yourselves about.” The circle was reformed, “Friskee,” etc., was repeated, and the game went on until all the different parts of the body had been named.
