Children playing Kagome-Kagome

This is a common game japanese children play. The goal for the child in the middle is to guess the one standing behind him. Japanese Lyrics: かごめかごめ 篭の中の鳥は いついつ出やる 夜明けの晩に 鶴と亀と滑った 後ろの正面だあれ。 Romanized Lyrics: Kagome Kagome, Kago no naka no Tori wa Itsu Itsu deyaru? Yoake no ban ni Tsuru to kame ga subetta. Ushiro no shoumen daare? Translation: Kagome, Kagome, the bird in the cage, when will you come out? In the evening of the dawn, the crane and turtle slipped. Who stands right behind you now?
