4. Tie up the Dumplings.
The position taken up is the same as in No. 3, but the pairs with their hands clasped stand separately, and one pair repeats —
"One in a bush, two in a bush, Please, young ladies, come into my house."

"Tie up the dumplings, tie up the dumplings, Tie up the dumplings, one, two, three."
