La señorita Susana
Estaba en el baile
Que lo baile, que lo baile
Y si no lo baila
Ya lo pagará
Salga usted
Que la quiero ver bailar
Déjenla sola
Sola bailando
Qué bien que lo baila usted
De la flor una rosa
De la rosa un clavel
Del clavel una niña
Que se llama Isabel.
Miss Susan
Was in the dance,
Let her dance, let her dance,
And if she doesn't dance,
She will pay for it.
Step forward
For I want to see you dance.
Let her on her own,
Dance on her own.
How well you dance it!
From the flower a rose,
From the rose a carnation,
From the carnation a girl
Her name is Elisabeth.
Game Instructions
The children stand in a circle and sing clapping their hands. A girl goes to the middle of the circle and she dances from one side to the other with her hands on her waist. While singing the last verse, a new girl enters the circle and takes the arm of the one who's leaving the circle, and they hop around together.
