Ooh Aah

The post by Azizi is very similar to what we sang playing skipping (jump rope) in Trinidad in the early 80s. Except it was prefaced by
“oona dosi . . . s . . .r . . .a
mama potosi, sitting on a road
went to a ?
and this is what she saw
ooh ahh
i wanna piece of pie
the pie too sweet
i wanna piece of meat
the meat too tough
i wanna ride the bus
the bus too full
i want my money back
my money turn green
say
A!
B!
C!”

etc. and you would turn the rope faster to try to “out” the person.

We also had one where the rope would turn very slowly as we sang “bluebells, cockle shells” with a rhyme that I don’t remember and then increase the speed with “salt, vinegar, mustard, pepper!”
