girls and boys， e out to play，
the moon doth shine as bright as day;
leave your supper， and leave your sleep，
and e with your playfellows into the street
e with a whoop， e with a call，
e with a good will or not at all
up the ladder and down the wall，
a halfpenny roll will serve us all
you find milk， and i'll find flour，
and we'll have a pudding in half an hour
^^^^^^^^at least 1708 < roud folk song index number of 5452>
這首童謠要追溯到英國資本積累的工業革命之前。兒童大量被要求僱傭，只有晚上才有非工作的玩耍時間。
詩歌的頭兩行在舞蹈書(1708， 1719， 1728)、諷刺詩(1709， 1725)，和政治抨擊(1711)中都有提到。現存的最早童謠版本是在大約1744年在倫敦出版的的tommy thumb's pretty song book，並且只有前六行。失去了後面童謠的版本更加符合歷史的真實性，e with a good will or not at all，無論願不願意，都已經不再重要了。
