Lyrics

Call – How many miles to Babylon?Response – Three score and ten.Call – Can I get there by candle-light?Response – Yes and back again.Call – Open your gates and let us through.Response – Not without a beck and boo.There's the beck, there's the booOpen your gates and let us through.

Movement

Formation: Students in 2 rows facing each other (Row 1 and Row 2).

Measures 1-12:Row 1 sings the Call.Row 2 sings the Response.Optional: Each time a row sings, they step forward 4 steps and back up 4 steps when then other row is singing.Measures 13-14 – On the word "beck," everyone leans back. On the word "boo," everyone bows forward.Measures 15-16 – Row 2 holds hands and raises them to form an arch. Row 1 students walk through the arch, and rows change places.
