GIRLS & BOYS
T. CRAMPTON
1. In all the land by field and town, The boys and girls go up and down. In all the land the girls and boys Wherever they go they make a noise.
They play at cricket, tops and games, With balls that carry various names; They whirl the skipping rope, and drive The hoop till it appears alive.
2. They thread the needle in the ring; They play at tea and visiting; Or woman poor from Sandyland, whose talk is hard to understand.
Their lungs and limbs they freely use, They never mope or have the blues; And it is always half their joys In all their play to make a noise.
3. They play at Hopscotch, marbles, dumps. And Fly the garter; oh! what jumps! From Tipcat quick away I fly For fear they'll hit me in the eye.
In winter on the ice they go, And keep the pot a-boiling so, And tho' they shout and make a noise, Somehow, I like these girls and boys.
