Hello, hello, hello. Come and play with us
Are you alone? Come and play with us

Each playing soul four bodies gets
Like north and south, and east and west
A matching die, a button, too
That's to be worn the whole game through

The figures, once placed in their yard
Are to be moved from their own start
Clockwise around the playing field
Until their home is safely reached

The roll of the die, it tells the speed
How swiftly all traverse the field
And you will find
The end has come
When four of one have entered home

Hello, hello, hello
Come and play with us
You don't have to be alone. Come
And play with us!
