In And Out The Windows

In And Out The Windows
Sung by Garrynamonie schoolchildren.

In and out the windows, in and out the windows,
In and out the windows, as we 'ave done before.

Etc., as above:

Stand and face your lover
Kneel down beside 'er.
Follow her to London.
Shaking hands in London.
I'll tell the bobby?* [policeman]

A slow, 3/4-time tune for a circle game song that usually employs a bouncy 4/4 rhythm. Opie's The Singing Game # 96, Brown Girl in the Ring.

*"I'll tell the bobby" seems an inessential addition, and has a separate life in Dundee — "Eh'll tell the boabby if ye lay a hand on me."
