Lyrics:
part 1:
See-saw, see-saw, now we're up or down,
See-saw, see-saw, now we're off to New York Town,
See-saw, see-saw, boys and girls come out and play,
See-saw, see-saw, on this our half holiday.
part 2:
Oh! what fun boys, a race to run, boys,
While each bright girl makes a hoop twirl,
Fly the kite high, in the clear sky,
Dance our hearts gay on this our holiday.
Then shout with joy your heart's delight,
Each girl and boy with all your might,
For now from school today we're free,
And we're as gay as gay can be.
part 3:
There's Polly and Johnny and Kitty and Jane,
All running to get on the see-saw again,
But Bobby and Sally are already there,
And swinging the see-saw up high in the air.
Ha! ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, What fun!
Ha! ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, What fun!
coda:
See-saw, see-saw, now we're up or down,
See-saw, see-saw, now we're off to New York Town,
See-saw, see-saw, boys and girls come out and play,
See-saw, see-saw, on this our half holiday.
