The measure at the beginning of the D phrase indicates laughter, and was 

 probably not intended to be a part of the song. The singers often showed 

 pleasure and interest in their singing by laughing, sometimes even with obvious 

 embarrassment at singing into the phonograph. The form of the song speaks 

 for Itself. It is certainly not a pisik. It starts on the last half of the final beat, 

 on the third degree of the major scale and ends on the same tone, but after a 

 passage which makes it sound more like the fifth of the relative minor. This 

 tone is the level of the song around which everything pivots. The ascending 

 end is by no means uncommon. Compare with melodies 57, 58.
