In the late 50’s and early 60’s in Yorkville (Manhattan) we used to line up and jump into and out of the rope one at a time then run around the rope turner and jump back in and out on the other side to this rhyme: “Put the dirty diapers on ____” The name of the person would be the kid who was in the rope at that moment. It was a very fast game and so much fun.
I am interested in any jump…

I am looking for the finish to the rhyme that starts: Not last night but the night before, twenty-four robbers came knocking at my door. As I ran out, they ran in. Hit me on the head with a bottle of gin. It hurt, it hurt, it hurt all night I asked them what they wanted and this is what they said! That is as far as I get. Can someone please tell me what they wanted!!!!

Down the Mississippi In the muddy Mississippi Where the boats go push (jumper exits and chant starts again when another child begins to jump) Salt pepper vinegar sugar (swinging back and forth) until someone misses then asked which one (if they say pepper then they get a fast overhead rope)
