Čížečku, čížečku

Čížečku, čížečku ("Siskin, o Little Siskin") is a traditional Czech children's folk song and a singing game which was performed in the past as an annual custom supposed to enhance the yield of poppy.

[1] The song is a chain of verses of the same pattern of call and response: In Czech: The call/response is repeated, with the verb "sowed" being replaced with the other stages of growing, harvesting and processing the poppies: With every response the children are supposed to perform an action of how exactly the poppy is sown, grown, eaten, etc.

It may also be arranged in the form of a dance.
