Down on the carpet we shall kneel, Till the grass grows round our heel: Stand up straight upon your feet; Choose the one you love so sweet. Now they're married life and joy First a Girl and then a boy Seven years after Seven years to come Georgie, georgie, kiss and run At school playtime the children would form a circle while chanting the Above lines. One person would be in the middle and during the first verse he/she would choose a person of the opposite sex from the circling children. At the end of the second verse they would kiss and the original boy/girl would join the circle and all would be repeated again while the second (chosen) person would, in turn, choose a partner from the circle and so on
