I learned this in kindergarden a few children in a circle and one in the middle as you sing the song everyone in the circle holds hands and walks in a circle As I was going to kentucky I was going to the fair I met a cenurita with flowers in her hair “then everyone stops walking and the cenurita does what the song says but at the end the person in the middle closes her eyes and turns around until the song says stop and the person she is pointing at is the next one in the middle” oh shake it cenurita shake it if you can shake it like a milkshake and do the best you can oh rumble to the bottom rumble to the top then turn around and turn around until you make a stop…
