They call it hopscotch! Now this is where it all begins A piece of chalk and a boot-polish tin Hit the streets, no time to wait Draw them squares out, 1 to 8 Hopscotch! Throw that tin and hop along And now you're ready to sing the song I said a-hopscotch a-hoppety-hop Keep on hopping, no time to stop It's called hopscotch! Th-th-th-they call it hopscotch!
