I was happy to find this site. It brings back such wonderful memories! My best friend move to Miami from Brooklyn and she taught my friends and I to double dutch. I almost forgot about it until my daughter came home from school and told me they’re jumping rope in P.E. (We live in Nebraska now). I found a website that sells double dutch ropes with booklets as well as other types of jumping ropes for competition and pleasure. They’re very reasonable. I just ordered some and can’t wait to teach my 10 yr old daughter and her friends to DOUBLE DUTCH! The site is jumprope.com. What great memories! I’ve also recently reunited with that best friend after 21 years!!

Hey, CeeseV (re: dec 2000 message), lol, we had a different version (and you thought YOURS was bad!) Tra la la boom de ay, did you get yours today? I got mine yesterday from a boy across the way. He laid me on the couch and all I said was ouch. But boy was he surprised to see my belly rise! Here’s a couple more from Queens, NY: Milk milk, lemonade, around the corner fudge is made. (Point to the appropriate body part for each product.) Oh, I ran around the corner and I ran around the block and I ran right into a pastry shop and I picked up a donut and I wiped off the grease, and I handed the lady a five cent piece. Well, she looked at the nickle and she looked at me, and she said, “hey mister, can’t you pay your fee? There’s a hole in the nickle, there’s a hole right through!” And I said, “What do you know? There’s a hole in the donut too!” A couple of sixties songs: (Sung to the tune of the commercial jingle for the game “Fascination”) Suffocation, suffo-suffo-cation Suffocation the game we love to play. First you take a plastic bag, Then you put in on your head. Go to bed. Wake up dead. Drive your mother Sick in the head Whoa….. Suffocation, suffo-suffo-cation….(song can go on endlessly) All the girls in France do the hula hula dance And the way they shake It’s enough to kill a snake When the snake is dead, We’ll put tulips in his head When the tulips die We’ll put roses in his eye When the roses die It is 1965.

I’m helping with a research project that is exploring leisure and pasttimes (and escapism) during the Great Depression. Any memories you might have or heard from parents or grandparents would be appreciated. I know my mother talked about paper dolls, jacks, and hopscotch because they cost little or no money. Any memories you would like to share?

This is one of those never-ending repeat-every-line songs I learned in Brownies that always made us giggle: The cutest boy I ever saw Was drinking cider Dear through a straw Repeat I asked him if He’d show me how to sip some cider dear through a straw Repeat He said of course he’d show me how to sip some cider dear through a staw Repeat First cheek to cheek then jaw to jaw we’d sip some cider dear through a straw Repeat But now and then that straw would slip and we’d sip cider dear lip to lip Repeat That’s how I got my mother-in-law and 49 kids to call me Ma Repeat The moral of this little joke is don’t sip cider JUST SIP COKE!

Does anyone know the 1980’s Denver-area version of the rollercoaster song: Down down baby down by the rollercoaster Sweet sweet baby oh how I love you Kissin’ all your boyfriends (naughty, naughty) Jumpin’ out the window (crazy, crazy) Something, something, lazy, lazy etc? I can’t remember the words and it’s driving me nuts! Can anyone help?
