The Badge Archive

This song is paired with a movement game. Everyone picks a partner and stands face-to-face in two circles. Outside circle bows, then inside circle bows. Partners shake right hands, then left hands. Skip in place (or in circles) during “la la.” At the end, bow again and steps one place to their left to switch partners. Repeat the song with new partners.

Recordings

• None available. See pg. 32 of The Brownie Book for the notes to sing.

Lyrics

How d’ye do my partner, <Outside circle bows>
How d’ye do today; <Inside circle bows>
Will you dance in the circle, <Partners shake right hands>
I will show you the way. <Partners shake left hands>
(Repeat with chorus la la for skip.) <Skip in place (or in circles)>
<bow again and step left to switch partners, then repeat>
