Don’t play games with me
I do not wish to sound nosy
I do not love to be cosy
Don’t beat around the bush
And when shove comes from push
Don’t play ring-around-the-rosy

The version I knew as a child was similar to this:
Ring a ring of roses, a pocketfull of posies, atishoo, atishoo, we all fall down
