Wind the bobbin up — the full words of the action rhyme, with what the hands do on each line, from the mills of Lancashire.

Wind the bobbin up, Wind the bobbin up, Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap.

Point to the ceiling, Point to the floor, Point to the window, Point to the door.

Clap your hands together, one, two, three, Put your hands upon your knee.
