Poll:Childhood Rhymes

Do any of you remember the silly rhyming songs from elementary school? The ones with some sort of hand clap. I was doing yard supervision this morning and I heard some girls singing a rhyme and it made me think of the one I use to sing.

 I remember "Mailman, mailman do your duty. Here comes Miss Amercian beauty. She can do the pom-poms. She can do the splits. But most of all, she can kiss, kiss, kiss. K-I-S-S." 

Which ones do you remember playing/singing in school?

Re: Poll:Childhood Rhymes

  • I remember Miss Susie (Miss Susie had a steamboat, her steamboat had a bell....) and Cinderella (Cinderella, dressed in yella, went upstairs to kiss a fella....). Wow, that was a LONG time ago!
  • Miss 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 50 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 they didn't come back, back, back
    'Til the 4th of July, ly, ly!

  • Mailman was one of my favorites and then we would have to do the splits until we were all the way on the floor..ahh good times.

    My mother your mother lives across the lane 1819 bluberrylane....that's all i remember

    bazooka zooka bubble gum my mother gave me 25 cents to me a pickle, but i didn;t buy me no pickle i bought me a boozooka zooka bubble game.

    those are two i can think of.

  • I remember...

    Down by the banks, of the hanky panky. Where the bull frogs jump from bank to bank. They go hip hop, hip to the hopitta. West side east side kurrrrr......plop.

    Or something like that.

  • The kids are still doing al the same ones we did. Michaela comes home with "new" ones all the time and is always disappointed that I already know it.

    She did come home a couple of years ago with one I didn't know though. Something like...

    Lemonade (clap, clap, clap)

    crunchy ice (clap, clap, clap)

    stir it once (clap, clap, clap)

    stir it twice (clap, clap, clap)

    I don't remember the rest of it but it just keeps getting faster until you can't understand it anymore.

  • I'm a nut

    in a hut

    I stole an apple from the tree so what

    I'm Crazy (you got that right)

    I'm foolish (you got that right)

     

  • I used to love doing down by the banks!
