Dance Thumbkin Dance

Melody -

Dance, Thumbkin dance;
Keep the thumb in motion.
Dance, ye merrymen, every one;
All the fingers in motion.
For Thumbkin, he can dance alone,
The thumb only moving.
Thumbkin, he can dance alone
The thumb only moving.
Dance, Foreman, dance;
The first finger moving.
Dance, ye merrymen, every one;
All the fingers moving.
But Foreman, he can dance alone,
Foreman, he can dance alone.
  Dance, Thumbkin, dance,
Dance, ye merry men, everyone:
But Thumbkin, he can dance alone,
Thumbkin, he can dance alone.

Dance, Foreman, dance,
Dance, ye merry men, everyone:
But Foreman, he can dance alone.

Dance, Longman dance, etc.

Dance, Ringman, dance, etc.

And so on with the other fingers, naming the second finger "Long Man," the third finger "Ring Man", the fourth finger "Little Man."
