This is another of the old country games in which the players all
have to do the same things. They first join hands and dance round,
singing--

Here we dance Looby, looby,
Here we dance Looby light,
Here we dance Looby, looby,
All on a Saturday night.

Then, letting go of hands and standing still, they sing--

Put your right hands in,
Put your right hands out,
Shake them and shake them a little,
And turn yourselves about,

and at the same time they do what the song directs. Then the dance and
chorus again, and then the next verse, and so on. This is the order--

(2) Put your left hands in.
(3) Put your right feet in.
(4) Put your left feet in.
(5) Put your noddles in.

And finally--

Put your bodies in,
Put your bodies out,
Shake them and shake them a little,
And turn yourselves about.
