SONG: Girls and Boys Come Out To Play HISTORY: (wikipedia) “The first two lines at least appeared in dance books (1708, 1719, 1728), satires (1709, 1725), and a political broadside (1711). It appeared in the earliest extant collection of nursery rhymes, Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book published in London around 1744.” [Verse 1]
D
[tab]    A                  D
The moon doth shine as bright as day;

D
Leave your supper, and leave your sleep,

    A         D
And join your playfellows in the street.

A
Come with a whoop, come with a call,

E                        A
Come with a good will or not at all.

A
Up the ladder and down the wall,

  E                   A
A halfpenny roll will serve us all.
[Verse 2]
D
Girls and boys, come out to play,

    A                  D
The moon doth shine as bright as day;

D
Leave your supper, and leave your sleep,

    A         D
And join your playfellows in the street.
