That song is like this :

cublak suweng suwengira,

sigelenter mambu ketundhung mundhing,

empak empong lira-liru,

iyeku swasananta,

mlebu metu ingaran lira-liru,

ing suwung kang mengku ana,

mungguh sajroning ngaurip

(Sunan Kalijaga)

And after the song is over, they already put the small stone in the one of their friend's hand, then the one that prone has to guess who one that has the stone in their hand, if the guess is exactly sucsessed, so his or her position will replace by another person.
