All Around The Village 

This is a singing game that was played in Blackpool in Victorian times.

The children of Anchorsholme Primary School in Blackpool have written the extra verses.

 All around the village, All around the village

 All around the village, As we have done before

 In and out the windows, In and out the windows,

 In and out the windows, As we have done before.

 Stand and face your lover, Stand and face your lover,

 Stand and face your lover, As we have done before.

 Off you go to Blackpool, Off you go to Blackpool,

 Off you go to Blackpool, As we have done before.
