"Queenie" then turns around and the others shout: "Queenie, Queenie, who's got the ball?Is she fat or is she tall?Is she hairy, or is she bald?You don't know because you don't have the ball!" Another version of the chant is: Queenio, Cokio, who's got the ballio?I haven't got itIt isn't in my pocketQueenio, Cokio, who's got the ballio? The "Queenie" has to guess who has the ball through a process of elimination. If the girl with the ball is the last one to be picked, that girl becomes the new "queenie." The player must admit to having the ball or will automatically be "out". The player who is the "Queenie" must not look when throwing the ball or the "Queenie" herself will be "out". (en)
