Green cheese, yellow laces
This is acted by two or more girls, who walk or dance up and down, turning, when they say, "turn, cheeses, turn." The "green cheeses," as I am informed, are made with sage and potatoe-tops. Two girls are said to be "cheese and cheese."
“Green cheese, yellow laces,
Up and down the market-places,
Turn, cheeses, turn!”
