Forward, backward, inward, outward



Come and join the chase!



Nothing could be drier



Than a jolly caucus-race.



Backward, forward, outward, inward



Bottom to the top,



Never a beginning There can never be a stop



To skipping, hopping, tripping



Fancy free and gay,



I started it tomorrow and will finish yesterday.



Round and round and round we go



And dance for evermore,



Once we were behind



But now we find we are



Forward, backward, inward, outward,



Come and join the chase!



Nothing could be drier than a jolly caucus-race.
