I don't know how this came up, but a few days ago I started to think about those old rhymes we all used to sing as kids, the ones that are used in clapping games most of the time. Well, when you actually listen to how the rhymes go, some of them can be quite awful; as in rude, cheeky, and skimming the line of what would be appropriate in the school yard.
So, I thought it would be interesting if everyone shared some old rhymes that they remember, good or bad. Here's a few I remember:
1. (normal)
Cece my playmate,
come out and play with me,
and bring your dollies three,
climb up my apple tree,
slide down my rainbow,
into my cellar door,
and we'll be jolly friends,
forever more.
2.(changed)
Cece my enemy,
Come out and fight with me
I'll bring my garden hose,
And shove it up your nose,
Slide down my boobie trap,
Into my cellar door,
And we'll be mighty enemies,
Forever more.
3.
Mailman, mailman, do your duty,
Here comes a lady with an African booty,
She can do the pom-poms,
She can do the splits,
But I bet you $5 she can't do this....
I remember a few more, but I'll see if anyone else can come up with any first. I find them interesting, but some are just awful! I'd love to see what kids across the world are singing, and just how different they are.

Edited by Believe (168514) on 2008-04-18 21:19:26 Miss Molly had a steamboat..
Ooh, we used to do:
Brick wall, waterfall,
-Name Here- thinks they've got it all,
but they don't and I do,
so BOOM with that attidude!
Peace, punch, capt'n crunch,
I got something you can't touch.
Bing bang, choo-choo train,
wind me up I do my thing,
Oh Reese's Peices, 7Up,
You mess with me I mess you up!
BAM!
And we did a slightly different version of it as well:
Brick wall, waterfall,
-Name Here- think they've got it all,
but they don't and I do, so BOOM with that attitude!
Elbow, elbow, wrist, wrist, smooch, smooch, kiss kiss!
Ooh, girl you just got dissed!
Wait, come back, you need a tic-tac!
Not one, not two, but the whole pack!
Talk to this, (We'd hold our hand up near our ears like a phone)
Cause the face aint home!
And leave a message after the tone! BEEP. CUT OFF!
Oh! And:
Miss Molly had a steamboat,
the steamboat had a horn. TOOT TOOT!
Miss Molly went to heaven, the steamboat went to-
HELLO operator, please give me number nine,
and if you disconnect me, I'll kick you from-
BEHIND the yellow curtain, there was a piece of glass,
Miss Molly sat upon it, and broke her big fat-
ASK me no more questions, tell me no more lies,
the boys are in the bathroom, zipping up their-
FLIES are in the city, the bees are in the park,
Miss Molly and her boyfriend, are kissing in the
D-A-R-K Dark-Dark-Dark-Dark-Dark-Dark!
The dark is like a movie, a movie's like a show!
A show is like a comedy, and that is all I-
KNOW I know my Ma, I know, I know my Pa!
I know, I know my sister with the forty acre bra-bra-bra-bra-bra-bra-bra-bra!

Ha Ha
Clapping game
Under the bram/brown (?) bush
under the tree..boom boom boom.
True love for you my darling
True love for me
And when we marry, we'll have a family
With a a girl for you and a boy for me
Oh think how happy we shall be
SEXY
This was played with your skirt.
Here is mummy (hold left side of skirt))
Here is Daddy (hold right side)
Making a baby (bring together, holding with both skirt sides in left hand and reach in between the to with your right hand)
And here is the nappy (you brought up middle part of skirt up and over and then tucked in between your legs like a nappy)
No wonder I was told off at 8 when I proudly should my mum the new game

We had a bunch of rewrites of nursery rhymes, like:
Mary had a little lamb
She tied it to a pylon
10,000 volts went up its bum
And turned its wool to nylon.
We also had one along the lines of Believe's first rhyme too, but I can't remember it. Every second line ended on something that sounded like it was going to be rude, but would turn out to be a different word. I think it ended with:
"I saw a policeman doing up his --
Flies are a nuisance, bees are even worse
And that is the end of my silly little verse"
Oh, and "I know a song that'll get on your nerves" was popular for a good long time, as was "This is the song that never ends".
I won't get started on the ones we did with cadets, because I can pretty much guarantee they're inappropriate for DDN Either that or silly in-jokes that wouldn't be the slightest bit funny to anyone else. Plus I don't think things you sing while sailing at age 15/16 count as kids rhymes.
And I nearly forgot - I remember an extra verse to Cece My Playmate.
Cece my playmate,
I cannot play with you,
My dolly's got the flu,
Chickenpox and measles too.
Don't slide down my drainpipe,
Or knock on my cellar door,
But we'll be jolly friends
For ever more.

haha we had a slightly different version of the already mentioned Miss Molly
Miss Molly had a steamboat,
the steamboat had a horn. TOOT TOOT!
Miss Molly went to heaven, the steamboat went to-
HELLO operator, please give me number nine,
and if you disconnect me, I'll kick you from-
BEHIND the yellow curtain, there was a piece of glass,
Miss Molly sat upon it, and broke her big fat-
ASK me no more questions, tell me no more lies,
the boys are in the bathroom, zipping up their-
FLIES are in the city, the bees are in the park,
Miss Molly and her boyfriend, are kissing in the
D-A-R-K Dark-Dark-Dark-Dark-Dark-Dark!
Darker than the ocean darker than the sea
darker than (totally not finishing this line it's not DDN clean enough.. we were bad kids)
Then we had the everyday random jump rope songs such as this crazy one about Cinderella and how many fellas she kissed? I can't remember it...
and..
School school the golden rule
spell your name and you're in school
*spell... spell... spell*
first grade
second grade
third grade...
and you went on for however many times you could jump

Oh we had ones we thought were hilarious
*ahem*
My boyfried gave me an apple,
my boyfriend gave me a pear,
my boyfriend gave me a kiss kiss kiss and he kicked me down the stair.
I gave him back his apple,
I gave him back his pear,
I gave him back his kiss kiss kiss and I kicked him down the stair,
I kicked him over london,
I kicked him over france,
I kicked him over the USA and he lost his underpants.
I took him to the station,
I bought him bubble gum,
And when he wasn't looking I stuck it up his bum!
I made him wash the dishes,
I made him clean the floor,
I made him wipe the babies bum in 1994!
Also:
Under the apple tree, my boyfriend said to me,
kiss me, hug me, tell me that you love me,
A, B ,C (you made your feet go out on the abc and this just repeated until you were as far into the spilts as possible)
And:
I went to a chinese restaurant, to buy a loaf of bread,
he wrapped it up in a five pound note and this is what he said;
my name is... elvis presley, girls are sexy, sitting in the back seat, drinking pepsi, having babies, in the navy, do me a favour, push off!
Another:
There's a party on the hill will you please please come, bring your own cup and saucer and your own cream bun... who is my best chum? *picks person*
*name* will be there with her knickers in her hair singing aii-aii-ipy-ipy-aii
The best one of all is the Nobby All song though... although I think thats a bit too kinky for DDN... PM's welcome for anyone who wants to hear it

We had a variation on the "I went to a chinese restaurant" one:
I went to a chinese restaurant to buy a load of bread bread bread,
He wrapped it up in a five pound note and this is what he said, said said,
My name is...elvis presley,
girls are sexy,
sitting in the back seat,
drinking pepsi,
Margaret Thatcher,
Do me a favour.....drop....down....DEAD!
I was five...I had no idea how Margaret Thatcher was! But I'm sure my Labour-supporting parents were very proud!

The version we did was:
Mailman, mailman, do my duty,
I'm in love with an American beauty,
She can do the pom-poms,
She can do the splits,
But I bet she can't do this:
Close your eyers and count to 10,
If you mess up start over again
Then came some intricate series of hand clapping that you and your partner had to do 10 times without messing up.
We also did:
Candy Apples make me sick
Makes my heart go 246
Not because I'm dirty
Not because I'm clean
Not because I kissed a boy behind a magazine
Hey girls wanna have some fun
Here comes a boy with his pants undone
He can't do the pom poms
He can't move his hips
But I bet he can do this:
Close your eyers and count to 10,
If you mess up start over again
Then came some intricate series of hand clapping that you and your partner had to do 10 times without messing up.
A slight variation on one of the ones above is:
Boys are cheats and liars.
They’re such a big disgrace.
They will tell you anything to get to second baseball, baseball,
They think they’re gonna score.
If you let them go all the way then you are horticulturists
Study flowers. Geologists study rocks.
All boys want from you is a place to put their cockroaches,
Beetles, butterflies, and bugs.
Nothing gets them happier than a big pair of jugglers,
Acrobats, a dancing bear named Chuck.
All they want to do is forget it,
No such luck.
Another vvariation on another above:
Thats the way

You got the moves
I got the grooves

But you don't
I do
So *POOF* with your attitude
Bang bang choo choo train
Wind me up I do my thang
Reese's piece's 7 Up
Mess with me
I'll mess you up
The last one is sort of repetitive and weird, though.

OMG! I used to say the "brick wall, water fall, girl you think you know it all" one in 3rd/4th grade. It was like the cool thing to say at my school.
I remember playing a game in 2nd grade. It went:
Down by the banks of hanky panky,
where the bullfrog jumps from bank to bank,
with an eeps, eyps, ohps, uhps,
Alligator comes with a big Ker-PLUNK!
I don't know if that's right, I just wrote it from memory.

My favorite was the one similar to above mentioned "Miss Molly" rhymes...
Miss Susie rode a steamboat, the steamboat had a crash
Miss Susie went to heaven, the steamboat went to
Hello Operator, get me number nine, and if you disconnect me I'll kick you...
Just behind the refrigerator, there laid a piece of glass
Miss Susie sat upon it and broke her little...
Ask me no more questions, Tell me no more lies
The boys are in the bathroom, zipping up their...
Flies are in the meadow, the bees are in their hives
Miss Susie and her boyfriend are kissing in the...
D-A-R-K, D-A-R-K, Dark Dark Dark!
Darker than the ocean, Darker than the sea
Darker than the underwear Madonna gave to me!

I also did the Ms Susie - but the steamboat had a bell not a horn or a crash - and the sister had a forty acre bra.
Another Ms Susie
Ms Susie had a baby
She named him tiny Tim
She put him in the bathtub
To see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water
He ate up all the soap
He tried to eat the bathtub
but it wouldn't fit down his throat.
Ms Susie called the doctor
Ms Susie called the nurse
Ms Susie called the lady with the alligator purse.
Mumps said the doctor
Measles said the nurse
Pizza said the lady with the alligator purse.
Pepto Bismol said the doctor
Cough Syrup said the nurse
Coca-cola said the lady with the alligator purse.
MS MARY MACK was....
ms mary mack mack mack
all dressed in black black black
with silver buttons buttons buttons
all down her back back back
she asked her mother mother mother
for fifteen cents cents cents
to see the elephants elephants elephants
jump over the fence fence fence
they jumped so high high high
they reached the sky sky sky
and didn't come back back back
til the forth of july ly ly
july dont walk walk walk
july dont talk talk talk
july dont eat eat eat
down by my feet feet feet.
yeaaaa h. nice, eh?
We also did CiCi my playmate
and down by the banks of the hanky-pank but the last line was different but i don't remember it.
There was one - Mountain Dew...
Oh they call it that good old mountain dew
yoo-hoo
and them that refuse it are few
are few
So I'll hush up my mug if you fill up my jug
with that good old mountain dew
yoo-hoo
*Yeah, North Carolina {US} for ya.
[We should have one called Sweet Tea!]
I Love the one Boys are cheats and liars. I never heard that one but its funny.

Ah, good times!
Okay, this is the first one that leaps to the brain-
My mother, your mother, live down the street
18, 19 Marble Street
And every night, they'd have a fight, and this is what they told me...
Girls are from Mars, to eat candy bars
Boys are from Jupiter, to get more stupider
Girls are sexy, made out of Pepsi
Boys are rotten, made out of cotton.
I'm sure there was more to it than that, but I can't remember the rest!

I used to love doing these with my friends all the time. We had so many different ones, but I really don't remember a lot of them... I remember Miss. Molly, and american booty one, but we did it a little differently.
Here are a few (words may be off, but I haven't done these in so long):
Give me a break
Give me a break
Break me off a peice of that kit-kat-bar
Chocolatly taste
Gonna make my day
Everywhere you go, you hear the peo-ple -say
Give me a break
Give me a break
Break me off a piece of that
Gotta have a piece of that
Really want a piece of that
KIT-KAT-BAR
They call me Hi, Low, pickalo
Pickalo, high, low
High, low, pickalo
pickalo, Yo
Mailman, mailman, do you duty
He comes miss. American beauty
She can do the pom-pom
She can do the splits
But most of all she'll blow you a kiss
k-i-s-s
(we would then proceed to move our feet sideways for each letter in kiss, and attemt to do the splits, and repeat until someone fell over)
When pebbles was a baby, a baby, a baby
When pebbles was a baby, she went like this: Wah, Wah
When pebbles was a toddler, a toddler, a toddler
When pebbles was a Toddler, she went like this: Wah, Wah, give me a sucker
.
.It kept going on from there until she died, but I don't feel like witing it all out.

For jump roping:
Ice cream soda, cherry on top
Who's your boyfriend?

Is it A? B? C? (keep going down the alphabet until the person messes up. and then whatever letter it was you find a guy's name that starts with it. It's better if the guy is in your class. "K? Ooooh. You like Kevin!!")

Another jump roping one where you do all the moves you sing. (For instance you jump with your legs apart every time you say "splits" or kick every time you say "kicks."
Mexico, Mexico
Over the hills to Mexico
Where they do the splits, splits, splits
And do high kicks, kicks, kicks
And turn around, round, round
And touch the ground, ground, ground
And get outta town, town, town (you jump out with the rope still going)
And get back in, in, in (someone new jumps in)

Teddy bear, teddy bear, go to bed
Teddy bear, teddy bear, clear your head(?)
Teddy bear, teddy bear, climb the stairs
Teddy bear, teddy bear, say your prayers
Teddy bear, teddy bear, turn out the lights
Teddy bear, teddy bear, say good night.

I went to a Chinese restaurant
To buy a loaf of bread
The waiter asked my name
And this is what I said:
My name is Elvis Presley
Girls are sexy
Don't drink whiskey, it's too frisky
Do me a favor
Push your neighbor
Chinese (pull eyes up)
Japanese (pull eyes down)
Indian chief. How.
(Again with the racist. It's a wonder how we didn't grow up being racist. Of course, we did live an incredibly diverse community so I guess we just didn't care all that much about race)

Thought I would put my two cents in here. I am a daycare teacher and a Brownie Leader. I remember most of the songs but with some variations. If you are looking for some songs to sing, check out this site from another Guider - dragon.sleepdeprived.ca . . .
But my favourite song would have to be Gunderbeck
Gunderbeck
There was a fat old Dutchman,
And his name was Gunderbeck
He used to like his sausages
With sauerkraut and speck
He opened up a butcher shop the finest ever seen
And in it he did put, a Gunderbeck machine!
OH Gunderbeck oh Gunderbeck,
How could you be so mean?
For ever have invented such a horrible machine.
Now all the pussy cats and long tailed rats will never more be seen
They're all ground up for sausage meat in Gunderbeck's machine.
One day a little boy
Came walking in the shop.
He ordered up some sausages and half a case of pop.
While he was waiting, he whistled up a tune
And all the little sausages went dancing around the room.
Chorus
One day he had some trouble,
The machine it would not go.
He climbed inside to see what was wrong,
He had the right to know.
His wife she had a nightmare and while walking in her sleep,
She gave the crank a heck-of-a yank and Gunderbeck was meat.

Haha some these are just hilarious
Some of the ones I used to do when I was younger are
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry merry king of the bush is he
Laugh kookaburra laugh
Kookaburra gay your life must be
Or this version lol!
Kookaburra sits on the electric wire
Jumping up and down with his pants on fire
Burn kookaburra burn
Kookaburra sore your butt must be.
or this:
My aunty Anna plays the piano
24 hours a day
SPLIT! (keep repeating until you are all way down in to the slpits)
Another:
I went to a chinese resturant
To buy a loaf of bread bread bread
He wrapped it up in a 5 pound note
And this is what he said said said
My name is Elvis Presley
Girls are sexy
Sitting in the backseat
Drinking pepsi
Boys at the movies
Pinching Boobies
What colour are they?
BRIGHT PINK!
Apple on a stick:
Apple on a stick
Makes me sick
Makes my heart beat two fourty six
Not because your dirty
Not because your clean
Just because you kissed the boy behind the magazine
Girls girls, they have all the fun
Here comes suzie with the blue jeans on
She can do a cartwheel, she can do the splits
But I bet you ten bucks she cant do this
Close your eyes and count to ten and if you muck it up your not my friend!
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10!
One more:
