(Or compose one of your own!) Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Trying something new, all I can recall is: Mable, Mable, Set the table! Don't forget the red hot peppers! (Or compose one of your own!) Bucharest, Budapest, Prague and Transylvania Stalin rode a pony to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The KGB don't bother me There is no rhyme that's zanier. Used to sing this one all the time! 'On the mountain, stands a lady, who she is I do not know, all she wants is gold and silver, all she wants is a nice young man!' I remember this one: Cinderella, dressed in yellow Went upstairs to kiss a fellow Made a mistake and kissed a snake How many kisses did it take? One,two,three,..... When I was a child, I loved to jump rope. This is something we girls looked forward to during the school recess breaks. Reading your question brought back fond memories and made me smile. Thank you! :) "Bluebells, cockle shells, Eevie, ivy, over; I like coffee, I like tea; I like the boys, and the boys like me. Tell your mother to hold her tongue; She had a fellow when she was young. Tell your father to do the same; He had a girl and he changed her name" Table, Table Oh my Mable! Don't forget... three extra legs! P.S. Yes, I skipped right to the table with Mable to eat your treats, especially with persevere preserves, but that's another line. All of them were good ,,,,,,,,,,,, HELL I can't remember what happened to the man from Nantucket A little girl with pigtails bobbing, Down the street she is hopping, 1, 2 button my shoe, 3, 4 shut the door, 5, 6 pick up sticks, 7, 8 lay them straight 9,10 a big fat hen Memories of great days gone by, Where did they go, Oh my, I sigh? Down in the meadow Where the green grass grows There sits Susie Pretty as a rose Along comes Johnny And kissed her on the cheek How many kisses did she get that week? 1-2-3-4.... Ice cream soda, Cherry on the top, Who's your boyfriend/girlfriend I forgot! One potato, two potato, three potato, four, five potato, six potato, seven potato more. Icha bacha, soda cracker, Icha bacha boo. Icha bacha, soda cracker, out goes Y-O-U! Down in the valley where the green grass grows, There sat (jumpers name) as sweet as a rose. She sang, she sang, she sang so sweet- Along came "Jimmy" and kissed her on the cheek! How many kisses did she receive? - One, two, three, etc. until jumper misses Rope Jumping with the neighbors In the skipping to make this fun follow the rules Two people on each end turning the rope ( neverenders ) if they desire Then two directions for turning and what it meant Front door ( going left ) and back door ( going right ) Not jump in correct rhythm the person is out and has to turn the rope. |
