    Lúrabog Lárabog
    In the winter time Lúrabog Lárabog is played. All the children sit flat around the fire side and everyone puts out his two feet. One stands in the centre and recites the rhyme.
    Lúrabog Lárabog limber a lock
    Five miles seven o clock
    She sat she sung
    She daily pung
    Picaddy pacaddy pie
    Whichever one's foot is counted last will put in his foot. When every one's foot but one is counted but one. The one whi is reciting the rhyme will drum on his back and say another piece of rhyme
