"DANCE, LITTLE BABY, DANCE UP HIGH" by ANONYMOUS

Last Line: "WITH THE MERRY GAY CORAL, DING, DING-A-DING, DING"

DANCE, little baby, dance up high:
Never mind, baby, mother is by;
Crow and caper, caper and crow,
There, little baby, there you go;
Up to the ceiling, down to the ground,
Backwards and forwards, round and round:
Dance, little baby, and mother shall sing,
With the merry gay coral, ding, ding-a-ding, ding.
