Lyrics:

Here we go round the mulberry bush,

The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush,

Here we go round the mulberry bush,

On a cold and frosty morning.

This is the way we stamp our feet,

stamp our feet, stamp our feet,

This is the way we stamp our feet,

On a cold and frosty morning.

This is the way we clap our hands,

Wash our hands, clap our hands,

This is the way we clap our hands,

On a cold and frosty morning.

Here we go round the mulberry bush,

The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush,

Here we go round the mulberry bush,

On a cold and frosty morning.
