Hey, Hey, Come Out & Play (Hail! Hail! the Gang's all Here)

This tune appears in Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera, The Pirates of Penzance as part of the chorus, "With Cat-Like Tread." Years later the words "Hail! Hail! the gang's all here" were set to it by D. A. Esrom (the pseudonym of Theodora Morse). I chose to change the words yet again to make the song more contemporary-kid-friendly.
