Erin :)

I remember one more but I'm not sure if it was  a clapping song or a jump rope song..it's been a long time..

Engine, Engine, number nine
Going down Chicago Line
If the train falls off the track
Do you want your money back
Yes, No, Maybe So

There was another one we used to do with 4 people and we'd clap to the person on the left, then to the person on the right, then reach up and clap to the person across from us, then scrunch down and clap to the person across from us again, then keep repeating the pattern.  I can't really remember the song very well...just a little piece of it

There was a lady knocking at my door
Saying "Ooh! Ahh! I want a piece of pie!"
Pie to sweet? I want a piece of meat
Meat too rough? I want to ride a bus
Bus too full? I want to ride a bull.

haha these songs made no sense and we didn't even notice! haha

We're going to Kentucky,
We're going to the fair
To see the Senorita
With flowers in her hair

Oh, shake it, shake it, shake it,
Shake it all you can,
Shake it like a milk shake,
And do the best you can

Oh, rumble to the bottom,
rumble to the top
Turn around and turn around
Until you make a stop!

S - T - O - P spelllllllls... STOP!

Hmm.. the "dink a bink a bottle of ink cork fell out and you stink" doesn't ring a bell at all... but the rest of it definitely does... I think we used that line in a different one but I can't remember...

Oh damn.  Not again.  Those songs used to annoy the hell out of me on my bus ride to school.  ;D

whoops...double post.

say say my playmate
come out and play with me

There was another one we used to do with 4 people and we'd clap to the person on the left, then to the person on the right, then reach up and clap to the person across from us, then scrunch down and clap to the person across from us again, then keep repeating the pattern.  I can't really remember the song very well...just a little piece of it

Pie to sweet? I want a piece of meat
Meat too rough? I want to ride a bus
Bus too full? I want to ride a bull.

haha these songs made no sense and we didn't even notice! haha

It starts out:
Winston tastes good
Like a cigarette should

Tastes like "Ooh, ahh! Want a piece of pie?...
Pie to sweet? I want a piece of meat
Meat too rough? I want to ride a bus
Bus too full? I want to ride a bull.

Bull too fat, want my money back
Money too green? Want a jelly bean
Jelly bean too red? Want to go to bed
Now close your eyes and count to 10
If you miss start all over again...
*close eyes while still clapping together*
1....2....3...4...etc


LOVED IT!!!  :D

Wow!  Did you used to do it with 4 people too?

Clip clap one!
Clip clap two!
Clip clap cock-a-doo-dle-doo!
My mother said,
I never should
Play with the gypsies in the wood.
If I did,
She would say,
"Naughty bad girl to dis-o-bey!"

Personally taught and dictated to me and my friends, by the same school principal who thought Boy George was the antichrist! ;D

Wow!  Did you used to do it with 4 people too?
Yes...that was ideal...but 2 would work also...tried it w/ 3, but that was a disaster. :D

Boys are cheats and liers
they're a big disgrace
they will tell you anything
to get to second
baseball, baesball
think they're gonna score
if you let them go all the way
then your a little
whore-eioligists studies flowers
geologists study rocks
all they want from you
is a place to put their little
cock-roaches, beetles, butterflys and bugs
guys will only like you
if you have giagantic
jug-glers, clowns, a little bear neamed chuck

can't remember this line but
it ends with

forget it no such luck



if someone else can fill in that line go right ahead, it will bug me now until i see it or remember it

I heard that one from a movie and memorized it. This is how I thought it went. "Boys are cheats and liars, their such a big disgrace, they will tell you anything to get to second baseball baseball, they think their gonna score, if you let them go all the way, then you are a whore-deculters studies flowers, geoligist studys rocks, all a guy really wants from you is a place to put his cockroaches, beatles, butterflys, and bugs,nothing makes them hapier then a giant pair of juggles-acrobats and dancing bears named chuck. thats all a guy really wants to do, but forget it, no such luck  :D

does anyone remember the other miss susie song? I think it went like this:

miss susie had a baby
she named him tiny tim
she put him in a bathtub
to see if he could swim
he drank up all the water
he ate up all the soap
...( i can't remember what line goes here if any)

So miss susie called the doctor,
The doctor called the nurse
The nurse called the lady with the alligator purse

"Measles" said the doctor
"Mumps" said the nurse
"Nothing" said the lady with the alligator purse

Miss Susie punched the doctor
Miss Susie slapped the nurse
Miss Susie payed the lady with the alligator purse

I hod sooo For gotten this one untill I read it here and it just came right back , we never said miss susuie I think we just said Mama but the line you're missing is
...he drunk up all the water, he ate up all the soap
He tried to eat the bath towel but it wouldn't go down his throat!

The one I remember most went like a lot of the others but strangely enough it started with ...
Chachi loves Joni, Joni loves Chachi,
East, West,
I met my boyfriend at the candy store
he bought me ice cream
he bought me cake
he brought me home witha belly ache
I said Mama mama I feel sick call the doctor quick quick quick,
Doctor doctor will I die? Count to five and you'll survivie ..1... 2...3..4..5.. Im Alive!
or if someone messed up the rythm
We'd say I died!
I also remember
lets get the rythm of the head ding dong
lets get the rythm of the hands ..clap, clap.
lets get the rythm of the feet..stomp stomp
lest get the rythm of the Hottdooogg.( hip circle)
and then  doing it backwards :D

When I was a kid it was Miss Lucy rather than Suzy.  And in our rhyme, the BATHTUB "wouldn't go down his throat." <lol>

We had a dirty-ish one, that went to the tune of "Rockin' Robin"

Mama's in the kitchen, cookin' rice
Daddy's outside, shootin' dice
Brother's in jail, raising bail,
Sister's on the corner selling fruit cocktail

(on "fruit" we crossed our arms over our chests, "cock" we put out hands on our, well...y'know...and "tail," we put our hands on our butts.)

Of course we did NOT do this in front of adults! :)

And speaking of "outa line" songs...the guys used to sing...

"I pledge allegiance to the flag,
Michael Jackson is a f*g,
Pepsi Cola burned him up
Now he drinks 7-up
7-up made him pale
Now he drinks ginger ale
Ginger ale made him sick
Now he drinks chocolate Quik."

I think there was more but I forget.  Anyone else ever heard of this?

I just remembered part of another one... but I'm not sure if we used to clap to it or just sing it.. but the part I remember is...

I walked around the corner
And I walked around the block
And I walked right into
A Donut shop


(can't remember the middle...

but the end was...)

And now there's a hole in the donut too!
Thanks for the donut, toodle-loo!

heres  a few.. lol

bubble gum bubble gum in a dish, how many pieces do you wish.. ( and you count and stuff)

then theres my favorite from when i was young

dink a bink a bottle of ink, cork fell out and you stink.  Not because your dirty, not because or clean, just because you kissed a boy behind the magazine!


OH. MY. GOSH. i loved inka bink! my neighbor would always use that to decide who was it for tag hide-and-go-seek... man, i LOVED that!

yes, i remember that one. then there was the song to the same tune that my friend learned at camp and talked to me. we used to sing it like this:

coca cola came to town
pepsi cola shot him down
dr. pepper stiched him up
now we all drink 7-up

i'm a nut, i'm a nut, i'm a nut, i'm a nut, i'm a nut

romeo and juliet
on a balcony they met
scram you guys i got a date
shakespeare's coming in a '48

i'm a nut, etc.

this song had another verse i think, and if you look it up online it comes out as "sweet cream soda pop" but i can't remember putting that into the song at all.

after D-A-R-K on the miss susie song we used to sing this...

dark, dark, dark, dark
dark is like a theater
a theater's like a show
a show is like a television that is all i know
i know i know my ma
i know i know my pa
i know i know my sister with a forty acre bra
my mom gave me a nickel
my dad gave me a dime
my sister gave me a girlfriend
that kissed me all the time

and if you changed the line above to "that looked like frankenstein" it would be extended to:

he made me do the dishes
he made me scrub the floor
he made me wash his underwear
so i kicked him out the door
i kicked him over london
i kicked him over france
i kicked him way too hard
he accidentley peed his pants.

we got such a kick out of this at school. what was funny was that every division of elementary schools had their own versions. they changed consistently.

sorry to post so much, but i can totally relate to this topic...
did anyone do this one?

"down by the banks of the hankey pankey
where the bull frogs jump from bank to bankey
with an eeps, ieps, ohps, oops, you missed a lillipad
KER-PLOP!"

we used to do that sitting in a circle and slapping hands around as we played. the person who slapped on kerplop was out and the game would start again.
this was MAJOR popular in my elementary school in the nineties. some of the boys even joined us.

Of course I've heard that!  If you remember 1984, you remember that one at least (and "Michael Jackson and Richard Pryor for the Ignited Negro College Fund)
It seems there were a bunch of x-rated skip-rope rhymes my big sister learned as a kid.  Just around the time I was born, my dad was still in his doctoral program, and we were living in Dorchester.  She picked 'em up there, I think.  But they're too nasty to post here!
:P

I remember Pia Zadora had a Top 40 hit with this clapping song called "The Clapping Song" in 1983.  I think these lyrics are of Caribbean origin:
 
Three-six-nine
the gosse drank wine.
The monkey chew tobacco on the street car line.
The line broke
the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little row boat.
Clap Pat - Clap Pat - Clap Pat - Clap Slap!
Clap Pat! Clap your hand

Pat it on your partners hand . . . Right hand.
Clap Pat! Clap your hand
cross it with your left arm

Pat your partners leff palm.
Clap Pat! Clap your hand
pat your partners right palm
With your right palm again. Clap Slap! Clap your hand

Slap your thighs and sing a little song.

My mama told me if I was goody

That she would buy me a rubber dolly
My Aunty told her I kissed a soldier

Now she wont buy me a rubber dolly.
Three-six-nine
the goose drank wine
. . .
Clap Clap! Clap your hands and prepare to pat
Pat! Take your right arm

Put your partners right palm with your right palm.
Clap ! Take your hand back and clap. Pat! Take your right
arm

Cross your right ann with your left arm

Pat your partners leff palm with your left palm.
Clap! Now back with a clap
Slap - Take the pats of your palms and slap your thighs

And watch the fun materialize
As you sing this little song
My mama told me if I was goody
. . .
Three-six-nine
the goose drank wine
. . .
Clap Clap . . .
My mama told me if I was goody
. . .

UB40 also used the lyric:
"The monkey chew tobacco on the street car line, The line broke, the monkey got choked" ("de line broke, de monkey get choke") in the chant for their version of "Red, Red Wine" (1984), but I can't find this rap on any of the lyrics sites.  Anyone know where I can find it?

That Pia Zadora song was a hit in the UK for The Belle Stars

does anyone know the rest of the words to the song rocken robin. all i know is "tweet baby tweet baby" my mommy says shes rocking in the tree tops all day long huffin and a puffin and singing this song, all the birds on main street go"

Not last night but the night before                                                                                                                                                          Twenty four robbers came knocking at my door                                                                                                When i ran out they ran in,in ,in,hit me on the head with a bottle of gin                                                                            asked them what they wanted and this is what they said          Spanish dancers do the twist,flip,turn around jump around,get out of town.

in reply to the coca cola song i dont remember that version i remember this on


coca cola went to town
Hi C knocked him down
7 Up picked him up
brought him to Dr Pepper
Dr Pepper gave him
Jelly Rolls Sleeping Pills
in the land of mars where the ladys smoke cigars
every puff they mak is enough to kill a snake
when the snake is dead they put roses in his head
when the roses die they put diamonds in his eye
when the diamonds breack it is time to bake a cake
when the cake is done it is 1991------2000

or change the in the land of mars to...

in the land of oz where the naked ladys dance
theres a hole in the wall where the men can see it all
where the snake is dead they roses....  and so on

does anyone know the rest of the words to the song rocken robin. all i know is "tweet baby tweet baby" my mommy says shes rocking in the tree tops all day long huffin and a puffin and singing this song, all the birds on main street go"

i'm a nut, i'm a nut, i'm a nut, i'm a nut, i'm a nut

romeo and juliet
on a balcony they met
scram you guys i got a date
shakespeare's coming in a '48

i'm a nut, etc.

this song had another verse i think, and if you look it up online it comes out as "sweet cream soda pop" but i can't remember putting that into the song at all.


There were several more verses -

Mary had a little lamb
the Dr. was surprised
When Old McDonald had a farm
you should have seen his eyes!

I'm a nut. I'm a nut, I'm craaaaaaaaaaaaaazy

Mary had a little lamb
she tied him to a heater
everytime he turned around
he burnt his little seater!

I'm a nut, I'm a nut, I'm craaaaaaaaaazy

Took myself to the movie show
just because I loved me so
wrapped my arms around my waist
got so fresh I slapped my face

I'm a nut. I'm a nut, I'm crazy

Coca cola came to town,
Pepsi cola shot him down,
Dr. Pepper stitched him up
now they all drink seven up

Im a nut, I m a nut Im crazy

Papa moses shot a skunk
Mama moses cooked a hunk
Baby moses ate a hunk
holy moses how they all stunk

Im a nut, etc....

I can sing
and I can dance
I wear ruffles on my
oops boys take another guess
I wear ruffles on my pants

Im a nut........


Those are all that I can remember

When I was a kid it was Miss Lucy rather than Suzy.  And in our rhyme, the BATHTUB "wouldn't go down his throat." <lol>

We had a dirty-ish one, that went to the tune of "Rockin' Robin"

Mama's in the kitchen, cookin' rice
Daddy's outside, shootin' dice
Brother's in jail, raising bail,
Sister's on the corner selling fruit cocktail

(on "fruit" we crossed our arms over our chests, "cock" we put out hands on our, well...y'know...and "tail," we put our hands on our butts.)

Of course we did NOT do this in front of adults! :)"


The version I remember as a kid was a bit dirtier than this one


Mama's in the kitchen, cookin fried chicken
Daddy's in the hall peeing on the wall
Brother's in jail, raising hell
Sister's on the street selling fruit, cock, tail

hi im findabhair sulay...im 16 yrs old, i read the entire thing,they cracked me up heres some i know:

this is my version of mis suzey:

miss moly had a steem boat the steam boat had a bell,
miss moley went to heven the steam boat went to
hell-oh operator give me number 9
and if you disconnect me i'll kick you in
behind the yellow curten thair was a peice of glass
miss moly sat apon it and broke her big fat
ass-k me no more questions tell me no more lies
the boys are having sex than ziping up thair
flies are in the kichen, bees are in the park
miss moly and her sisters boyfriend are kissing in the
dark is like a theortor
the theorters like a show
the show is like a radio and that is all i know
i know i know my ma
i know i know my pa
i know i know my sister with the 40acr bra
ive seen her in the the ocan
ive seen her in the sea
ive seen her in the bath tub
oops, pardon me
my ma gave me a penny
my pa gave me a dime
my sister gave me a boyfriend
who kissed me all the time
my ma took back the penny
my pa took back the dime
my sister took back the boyfriend
and gave me frankenstine
he made me wash the dishes
he made me wash the floor
he read  so many porn magizenes
so i kicked him out the door
i kicked him over londen
i kicked him over france
i kicked him oh so quickly
that he went up in a stance

miss moly was horny
"you dirty dirty girl"(mister moly sais this)
miss molys sis walks in and sais
"im gunna hurl".

miss moly has a baby
she named it tiney tim
she put it in the tub
to see if it could swim

it drank up all the water
it ate up all the soap
when she woke upin the mornin
it had bubbles in its throat

miss moly called a docter
miss moly called a nurse
miss moly called the lady with aligator purse

measels said the doctor
mumps said the nurse
hickups said the lady with the aligtor purse

miss moly shot the doctor
miss moly shot the nurse
come in and stay 4 tea miss aligator purse




heres another:

Down down baby
Down by the rollercoaster
Sweet sweet baby
I'll never let you go
Kissed my boyfriend
Naughty naughty
Won't do the dishes
Lazy lazy
Stole a piece of candy
Greedy greedy
Jumped off a building
Crazy crazy
Two chinese men sittin' on a bench
Trying to make a dollar outta eighty five cents
Twist twist
Twist like this
This is how me and my boyfriend kiss
When you 'twist' you grab the other person's hands and cross them and uncross them and when you are done with the rhyme whoever's arms are crossed they kiss their boyfriends and whoever's arms aren't crossed, you don't kiss.

and another version:

down, down baby, down, down the roller coaster. sweet, sweet baby, sweet, sweet, don’t let me go. shimmy, shimmy, cocoa pop. shimmy, shimmy, rock. shimmy, shimmy, cocoa pop. shimmy, shimmy, rock. I met a girlfriend - a triscuit. she said, a triscuit - a biscuit. ice cream, soda pop, vanilla on the top. ooh, Shelly’s out, walking down the street, ten times a week. I read it. I said it. I stole my momma’s credit. I’m cool. I’m hot
:D ;)

"My mother and your mother
were hanging out clothes
my mother punched your
mother right in the nose
What color blood came out
R-E-D spells red
and you are......IT !"

i have no idea what anyone is talking about?

I used to hear girls skip rope to this one, it's kinda anti-clamactic because the answer is "father," and you just told me where he was in the last line, anyway:

Goddam motherf**kin' sonofabitch
Your mother's in the kitchen eatin'
strawberry sh*t!

Your father's in the den
f**kin' on a hen...

Who's that motherf**ker sittin'
in the den?

Another skip rope rhyme:

Jesus Christ a-mighty
A mouse run up my
nightie;
He bit my tit and
made me sh*t
Jesus Christ a-mighty!

  I remember the steamboat one...

I used to hear girs skip rope to this one, it's kinda anti-clamactic because the answer is "father," and you just told me where he was in the last line, anyway:

Goddam motherf**kin' sonofabitch
Your mother's in the kitchen eatin'
strawberry sh*t!

Your father's in the den
f**kin' on a hen...

Who's that motherf**ker sittin'
in the den?

Another skip rope rhyme:

Jesus Christ a-mighty
A mouse run up my
nightie;
He bit my tit and
made me sh*t
Jesus Christ a-mighty!




:o

And we thought we were being daring by implying we might show our knickers to the football team!

That's the funniest thing I ever heard! Thanks, Max for sharing that one. You made my day!

i have no idea what anyone is talking about?

sing-song rhymes like "Patty-Cake" songs. That type of thing.

:o

And we thought we were being daring by implying we might show our knickers to the football team!


Ah, you may be thinking more of cheerleader rhymes.  I was thinking more of the skip-rope/hopscotch rhymes, some of which were cute, others profane because kids figure out how fun it is to say words you're not supposed to say!

In my mother's day it only went as far as:

"Hello operator
Gimme 909*
My father works for the railroad line**
Pushes all the buttons
Rings all the bells
and tells all the people to go to
Hell--
--O operator gimme 909..."
:P

*or "Gimme number 9"
** or "works on the telephone line"

Perhaps this thread belongs in "More than a Decade." 

To bring it back to the '80s, Pia Zadora had a top 40 hit in 1983 with "The Clapping Song."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clapping_Song

3, 6, 9
The goose drank wine
The monkey chew tobacco on the streetcar line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little rowboat

Clap pat - clap pat - clap pat - clap slap
Clap pat! clap your hand...
Pat it on your partner hand... right hand
Clap pat! clap your hand...
Cross it with your left arm
Pat your partner left palm
Clap pat! clap your hand...
Pat your partner right palm
And a right palm again
Clap slap! clap your hand...
Slap your thigh and sing a little song go...

My Mother told me
If I was goody
That she would buy me
A rubber dolly
My Auntie told her
I'd kissed a soldier
Now she won’t buy me
A rubber dolly

3, 6, 9
The goose drank wine
The monkey chew tobacco on the streetcar line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little rowboat

Clap clap!
Clap your hands and prepare to pat
Clap!
Take your right arm
Pat your partner palm with your right palm

Clap!
Take your hand back and clap
Clap!
Take your right arm
Cross your right arm with your left arm
Pat your partner left palm with your left palm
Clap!
Now back with a clap
Take your hand to your palm and slap your thigh
And watch the fun materialize
As you sing this little song:

My Mother told me
If I was goody
That she would buy me
A rubber dolly
My Auntie told her
I'd kissed a soldier
Now she won’t buy me
A rubber dolly

Clap!

Clap pat - clap pat - clap slap
Clap pat!
Clap pat - clap pat - clap slap

However, this was written in the sixties by Shirley Ellis.  Use of the pidgin style was popular in the fifties and sixties, for example "Louie, Louie."
UB40 used some of this rhyme in the toasting section of their version of "Red Red Wine" (Monkey chew tobacco on de streetcar line, de line broke, de monkey get choke...."

And "The Clapping Song" was made dirty by little girls, I seem to remember:

"1,2,3,4,5,6, and 9,
A monkey stuck his finger up a girl's behind
The girl screamed
The monkey turned green
And they all went to heaven a little tangerine"

Nope.  We don't 'do' cheerleading in the UK.  It was a skipping song I was thinking of.

I'm a little Girl Guide
Dressed in blue
And these are the actions
I must do
Salute to the Captain
Bow to the Queen
And show my knickers to the football team.



Sometime in the 80s The Belle Stars also had a hit with The Clapping Song, in the UK

Nope.  We don't 'do' cheerleading in the UK. 



Well, we don't have knickers in the U.S!


I mean, we have the same garments, they're just called something else.  Sorry to get your hopes up lads! 

That's what they call 'em in the U.K., right "hopes," as in "The birds like the blokes with the biggest....hopes"?

They were so popular at my school but I honestly couldn't understand why they were such a thrill. Needless to say, I joined in to be socialize.

I vaguely remember Suzy Steamboat (the "Hello operator" brings it back). I also remember a little bit of Miss Mu (?):

Miss Mu (?) *clap twice*
Miss Mu (?)  *clap twice*
Miss Mu (?) from Alabama *clapping I believe*
She's sitting in her rocker *"      "*
Reading Betty Crocker    *"    "*
Watching the clock go tick tock *tilt head*
Tick tock a-walla-walla *continue tilting head back-and-forth*.....that's all I remember

Not last night but the night before                                                                                                                                                          Twenty four robbers came knocking at my door 


Now, why would a robber (let alone two dozen of 'em) actually knock at your door?  ???

Kinda defeats the object of 'robbery', doesn't it?  :D

Does anyone remember the silly little man from china clapping song?
