Boys and girls, come out to play


Boys and girls, come out to play
The moon doth shine as bright as day!
Leaves your supper and leave your sleep,
And come with your playfellows into the street
Come with a whistle,
Come with a call,
Come with a good will, or not at all.



Variant form:

Boys and girls, come out to play
The moon doth shine as bright as day!
Leaves your supper and leave your sleep,
And come with your playfellows into the street
Come with a whoop, come with a call,
Come with a good will, or not at all
Up the ladder and down the wall,
A half-penny loaf will serve us all;
You find the milk, and I'll find the flour,
And we'll have a pudding in half an hour.
