Trades and Occupations.
87. The Workingman.
88. The Trades.
Fischer.
4  I am a merry tailor,
My suits fit close and true. And 1 make boots and shoes, Come, here's a pair for you.
5  I am a busy seamstress,
The neatest work I stitch;
And I'm a cheerful teacher, And never use a switch.
Cho. We all are cheerful workers, We're busy day and night, No matter what our trade is, We all will serve vou right.
[Note:—The children are divided up into farmers, millers, builders, blacksmiths, horses etc. Each division sings to suit the words; the farmers imitate the sowing of grain; the millers the motion of the mill-stones; the blacksmiths tap on the up turned foot of the horse assigned to each; the builders imitate the turning of a large augur; the hakers knead dough; the painters make the" motion of painting; the tailors sit on the floor with legs crossed and sew industriously; the shoe-makers kneel on the right knee and tap with the right hand on the left fist which rests firmly on the left knee; at the words, "come,here's," etc.he holds up an imaginary pair of boots. All stand quiet while singing the chorus.]
