Have a circle two feet in diameter cut out of plain white paper. At
the time the game is to be played some one should pin this on the back
of the Lord of Misrule. He must then whistle and caper all about the
room, thus attracting attention, and seat himself at the piano, and
sing at the top of his lungs,
Girls and boys, come out to play.
As soon as he sings the word _play_, every girl and boy rushes forward
and catching each other by the hand, they dance and skip about to the
tune played by the Lord of Misrule, while all sing,
Girls and boys come out to play,
The moon doth shine as bright as day,
Leave your supper and leave your sleep,
And meet your playfellows in the street,
Come with a whoop and come with a call.
The second the words whoop and call are uttered the most
throat-splitting whoops and calls should be given; such as cat calls,
wild beast groans, crying, barking, bird notes, etc. The circle
disbands during the laughter and confusion, but the game may be played
over and over as long as the Man of the Moon shall will.
