    This is how "Heyhody Ali O" is played:-
    All the children go around in a ring except one who would stay in the middle she would sing.
    "Heyhody Ali O."
    My father wants a wife,
    The wife wants a child,
    The child wants a nurse
    The nurse wants a dog,
    The dog wants a bone,"
    and then they would all put their hands around one another's necks and sing the same again.
