(sung to ball-bouncing)
One two three a plainsy
Four five six a plainsy
Seven eight nine a plainsy
Ten a plainsy, overhead
One two three a di-roopsy...
One two three a dashy...
One two three and under...
A variant of the ball-bouncing game “One, two, three alery.” Ruth treated these as distinct games. Such games can go on for an amazing number of ball-bouncing variations.
