Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFF GFGFGEGEFF HIHIGEGEFF| Play that you are mother dear | A |
| And play that papa is your beau | B |
| Play that we sit in the corner here | C |
| Just as we used to long ago | B |
| Playing so we lovers two | D |
| Are just as happy as we can be | E |
| And I'll say I love you to you | D |
| And you say I love you to me | E |
| I love you we both shall say | F |
| All in earnest and all in play | F |

| Or play that you are that other one | G |
| That some time came and went away | F |
| And play that the light of years agone | G |
| Stole into my heart again to day | F |
| Playing that you are the one I knew | G |
| In the days that never again may be | E |
| I'll say I love you to you | G |
| And you say I love you to me | E |
| I love you my heart shall say | F |
| To the ghost of the past come back to day | F |
| - | |
| Or play that you sought this nestling place | H |
| For your own sweet self with that dual guise | I |
| Of your pretty mother in your face | H |
| And the look of that other in your eyes | I |
| So the dear old loves shall live anew | G |
| As I hold my darling on my knee | E |
| And I'll say I love you to you | G |
| And you say I love you to me | E |
| Oh many a strange true thing we say | F |
| And do when we pretend to play | F |
