[78-L] i don't want to play in your yard

[Kristjan Saag]

Peggy Lee only sings the chorus.

Full version can be heard here:

In the English version the final chorus repeats the words from the 
previous. When Swedish cabaret king Ernst Rolf put words to the song 
around 1915, he changed the final chorus (after the little maids had 
become friends again in the final verse) so that they actually did climb 
in each other's apple tree again etc.
In Sweden it has only been recorded as a children's song.
