- The game of "Weigh the Butter Sell the Cheese" is not often played now. This is how it is played. You get two girls the same size. They put their backs to each other and hook their arms. One of them leans forward and weighs up the other one, and then the other one leans forward and weighs up the other one. When you are swinging up you sing Weigh the butter sell the cheese Go to the market and tell a wheen of lees. (lies)
