Reading this brought back…
Reading this brought back amazing memories – my 5 and 6 year old daughters have been learning some jumprope/hand clapping rhymes and I was trying to teach them some I remembered from my youth – this helped me fill in a lot of holes. Some I remember but didn’t see here are:
So-So and So-So
Sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes Love
Then comes marriage
Then comes So-So in a baby carriage
Sucking his thumb
Wetting his pants
Doing the hula hula dance!
Does anyone remember:
Oh I wish I was a little bottle of Coke
(repeat)
I’d go slurpy, slurpy, slurpy
and make everybody burpy
Oh I wish I was a little bottle of Coke
Oh I wish I was a little bar of soap
(repeat)
I’d go slidey, slidey, slidey,
under everybody’s nightie
Oh I wish I was a little bar of soap
Oh I wish I was a little piece of glass
(repeat)
I’d go cut-ty, cut-ty, cut-ty,
and make everybody bloody
Oh I wish I was a little piece of glass
etc.
I know there were more verses, the elementary school kids used to sing it on the bus when I was in kindergarten 1970-71.
