Lazy Mary.

A mother and daughter in the centre of a ring, the daughter kneeling with closed eyes. Mother advances—

"Lazy Mary, will you get up,
Will you get up, will you get up,
Will you get up to-day?"

"What will you give me for my breakfast,
If I get up, if I get up,
If I get up to-day?"

The reply is, "A slice of bread and a cup of tea," whereon Mary answers, "No, mother, I won't get up," and responds similarly to the call to dinner; but for supper the mother offers "a nice young man with rosy cheeks," which is accepted with the words, "Yes, mother, I will get up," whereon the ring clap their hands. The round is familiar in New York streets. There is a corresponding English song, with a tragic ending.

Whistle, Daughter, Whistle.

"Whistle, daughter, whistle,
And I'll give you a sheep."
[After an interval.]"Mother, I'm asleep."
"Whistle, daughter, whistle,
And I'll give you a cow."
[A faint attempt.]"Mother, I don't know how."
"Whistle, daughter, whistle,
And I'll give you a man."
[A loud and clear whistle.]"Mother, now I can!"
