In response to EMB, here’s what I remember of the peanut song. Found a peanut, found a peanut, found a peanut last night. Last night I found a peanut, found a peanut last night. Cracked it open, cracked it open, cracked it open last night…. It was rotten…. Ate it anyway…. Had a stomachache…. Called the doctor… Died anyway… Went to heaven…. That’s all the verses I can remember. We used to sing it on the bus, going to camp, along with the bumblebee song. (I found a little baby bumblebee, won’t my mommy be so proud of me…)

I grew up in Jersey City, NJ. I remember playing a version of hopscotch that we called “kick the can”. Same basic rules, but you threw a flattened can into the numbered boxes. Then, on the way back, you didn’t pick it up. You had to kick the can back to home base while hopping on one foot.

Here’s one I remember as a kid, that my kids just learned at school. It’s amazing how these things keep going. This was meant to be said by two people, the first one asked the questions, the second one gave the answers. WHAT’S YOUR NAME? Mary Jane. WHERE DO YOU LIVE? Down the drain. WHAT’S YOUR NUMBER? Cucumber. WHAT DO YOU EAT? Pig’s feet. WHAT DO YOU DRINK? Pink ink. WHAT DO YOU WEAR? George Washington’s underwear! I don’t remember who’s underwear we said, but I don’t think it was George Washington. That’s the way my kids say it though.

I grew up in the Inwood…

I grew up in the Inwood section of upper Manhattan. One of the things only girls did with spaldeens was to bounce the ball while chanting certain rhymes, turning one leg over the bouncing ball on certain words. One of the rhymes went something like: Oliver Twist, can’t do this, touch his knee, touch his toe, (something something…) and over we go. You turned over on Twist, this and go. You’d touch your knee and toe where indicated. I can’t remember one of the lines. After you did this, you’d start all over, but this time you’d do everything twice: Oliver Twist Twist, etc. You’d go up until you gave up or got bored. Another bouncing game was A My Name Is Alice. You’d go through the alphabet: A my name is Alice, and my husband’s name is Al, and I come from Alabama, and I sell apples. Does anyone remember these games?

My sisters and I used to spend hours on end playing a solo ballgame against a wall that we called “Seven Up”. None of us can remember the moves for every level up to seven, or the order of them… haaalp! I wanna teach my daughter and have this one catch on again, it was so much fun!

I remember a negative verse to little play mate. something like “oh little devil, come out and play with me. ——I’ll scratch your eyes out, I’ll— and we’ll be enemies forevermore, 1,2,3,4” How’s that for disturbing. I can’t remember it really, can anyone else? From Brooklyn, NY
