Here we go round the mulberry bush, The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush, Here we go round the mulberry bush, So early in the morning! This is the way the rabbits hop, Rabbits hop, rabbits hop, This is the way the rabbits hop, Around the mulberry bush! This is the way the birds can fly, Birds can fly, birds can fly, This is the way the birds can fly, Around the mulberry bush! This is the way the fish can swim, Fish can swim, fish can swim, This is the way the fish can swim, Around the mulberry bush! This is the way the cats can creep, Cats can creep, cats can creep, This is the way the cats can creep, Around the mulberry bush! This is the way the frogs can jump, Frogs can jump, frogs can jump, This is the way the frogs can jump, Around the mulberry bush! This is the way the dogs can run, Dogs can run, dogs can run, This is the way the dogs can run, Around the mulberry bush! This is the way we all can play, All can play, all can play, This is the way we all can play, Around the mulberry bush! Here we go round the mulberry bush, The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush, Here we go round the mulberry bush, With all our animal friends!

Did you know? The song "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush" was first written down by a man named James Orchard Halliwell in the mid-1800s - that's over 170 years ago! But here's something really interesting - it might have originally been called "Here we go round the bramble bush" instead! The reason people think it changed to "mulberry bush" is because brambles are prickly and hard to say quickly, and also because mulberries don't actually grow on bushes - they grow on trees!

The most fun part is that children have been holding hands, dancing in circles, and acting out different activities around an imaginary bush for all these years - just like you do today! So when you play this game, you're doing exactly what children did way back when your great-great-great grandparents were little!

Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush Nursery Rhyme Original lyrics

Here we go round the mulberry bush,
The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush,
Here we go round the mulberry bush,
So early in the morning!

This is the way we wash our face,
Wash our face, wash our face,
This is the way we wash our face,
So early in the morning!

This is the way we comb our hair,
Comb our hair, comb our hair,
This is the way we comb our hair,
So early in the morning!

This is the way we brush our teeth,
Brush our teeth, brush our teeth,
This is the way we brush our teeth,
So early in the morning!
