Lyrics
(Folk song)
Call
Hey Mary,
Response
I think I hear my name,
Call
Hey Mary,
Response
I think I hear it again.
Call
You’re wanted on the telephone.
Response
If it’s not Michael I’m not at home.
All
With a rick tick tick-e-ty tick, oh yeah.
With a rick tick tick-e-ty tick, oh yeah!
Game
One student is “It” (see “Mary” above) and sings the Response. On “If it’s not…” “It” sings the name of another student, who takes a turn when the song repeats.
