Cross your arms over your chest.
Slap your right hand on your right knee and your left hand on your left knee.
Clap your hands.
Clap your right hand with your partner's right hand.
Clap your hands.
Clap your left hand with your partner's left hand.
Clap your hands.
Cross your arms over your chest and start all over again. Go as fast as you can.
When you decide to stop, clap your partner's hands with your hands three times.
The Merrymac Song (Dina Anastasio)
Old Merry Mac, Mac, Mac,
All dressed in black, black, black,
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons,
All down his back, back, back;
He went downtown, town, town,
To buy a house, house, house,
He made a mistake, stake, stake,
And bought a mouse, mouse, mouse;
He went uptown, town, town,
To buy a hat, hat, hat,
He made a mistake, stake, stake,
And bought a cat, cat, cat;
He went downtown, town, town,
To buy a log, log, log,
He made a mistake, stake, stake,
And bought a dog, dog, dog;
He went uptown, town, town,
To buy a plow, plow, plow,
He made a mistake, stake, stake,
And bought a cow, cow, cow;
Poor Merry Mac, Mac, Mac,
All dressed in black, black, black,
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons,
All down his back, back, back.
