LITTLE SALLY WALKER

SITTING IN A SAUCER.
RISE SALLY RISE
WIPE YOUR WEEPING EYES.
PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HIPS
AND LET YOUR BACKBONE SLIP.
OH, SHAKE IT TO THE EAST
OH, SHAKE IT TO THE WEST
OH, SHAKE IT TO THE VERY ONE
THAT YOU LOVE THE BEST.

Submitter comment: THE MOVEMENTS WITHIN THE GAME ARE
ALL DONE BY THE PLAYERS. ONE PERSON IS
SALLY WALKER, WHO STANDS IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE OTHER CHILDREN. THEY
CIRCLE THE CHILD IN THE MIDDLE
AND GO THROUGH THE MOVEMENTS IN THE SONG.
