Oh site is too cool. Here’s one from my elementary days (PS.70 in the Bronx) Ms. Mary Mack, Mack, Mack All dressed in Black, black, black. With silver buttons, buttons, buttons All down her back, back, back. She asked her mother, mother, mother. For 15 cents, cents, cents. To see the elephants, elephants, elephants. Jump over the fence, fence, fence. He jumped so high, high, high. That he reached the sky, sky, sky and he never came back, back, back ‘Til the 4th of July, lie, lie. And also, Grandma, Grandma sick in bed called the doctor and the doctor said Grandma, Grandma you ain’t sick all you need is a hickory stick hands up, shake it, shake it, shakity shake (*hand directions*) hands down, shake it, shake it, shakity shake to the front to the back to the side, side, side (*jumping directions* to the front to the back to the side, side, side I never went to college, I never went to school but I bet you five dollars I could shake it like a fool.

What a great discussion…

What a great discussion ! And what great memories all this brings back ! I especially enjoyed visiting the link to the kids games that someone posted… Red Rover… Ghost In The Graveyard… Mama May I… Red Light Green Light… ahh, man!! I played all that when I was a kid! I loved Chinese jumprope too and like many others here I’d love the rules from someplace if anyone has them, I’d love to teach my young cousins how to do it. Never did the “double dutch” jumping… not adept enough! It was all I could do to keep going if we were doing a game where we had to do fast jumping! Haha!! These rhymes are all so familiar as well ! Thanks for a great little memory jolt and something pleasant to pas a slow and quiet Sunday afternoon ! Take care!

Remember this one? You all…

Remember this one? You all sat or stood in a circle and placed your hands by the person next to you so on your right your hand was above their hand (horizontal, palms up) and on the left below the person on the left, below their hand. Then you’d sing this song and the person who started would take their right hand and slap the henad of the person to their left, and it would be a chain reaction around the circle..whoever the song stopped on would be out until 2 people were left, then the winner: Down on the banks of the Hanky Panky Where the bullfrogs jump from bank to banky Said eeps ipes opes umps Listen to the ker…PLOP! ——– Whoever was hit last was kicked out and the game started again.

I spent endless hours jumping double dutch in the 60’s outside of Phila. Germantown area. I recently went back there , found my old girlfriends and pulled them into Daniel St. We coughed and laughed alot and we could remember how to turn and jump but only half remembered the rhymes. I have begun to form a group here in Charlottesville Va. so that my daughter will hopefully have this memory too!It’s ashame that kids just don’t do this anymore. I aim to change that. Remember Lover boy love him so can’t let him go no,no,no! Or Winston tastes good like an eeny meany disalleeny oo aah aah malleeny, hotchy cotchy liberace i love you, take a peach take a plum take a stick of chewing gum don’t like it don’t take it do the Alabama shake it, hotdog baby chicken in the gravy here comes mama with the balled headed baby. wrap it up in tissue paper throw it down the elevator first floor stop chicken baby, second floor stop chicken baby etc..

How about those square/flat clutch (vinyl or leather) purses with the metal rectangular handle cut into the middle near the top? Oh, I loved those crop tops with the ruffled bottom. How about mini skirts worn with a fat belt? And who can forget PF Flyers?! Made you run faster and jump higher! My favorite sneaks were a pair of denim colored Keds with orange laces. I wish I could find them available today.

Here’s the version I know of the MTA song: Now let me tell you a story ’bout a man named Charlie On this tragic and fateful day He put ten cents in his pocket Kissed his wife and family Went to ride on the MTA CHORUS But did he ever return No he never returned And his fate is still unlearned (Poor old Charlie) He may ride forever ‘neath the streets of Boston He’s the man who never returned Charlie handed in his dime At the Kendal Square Station And he changed for Jamaica Plain When he got there the conducter Told him “one more nickel” Charlie couldn’t get off of that train CHORUS Now all night long Charlie rides through the tunnel Saying “What will become of me?” How can I afford To see my sister Chelsie Or my cousin in Roxbury? CHORUS Charlie’s wife goes down To the Scolley Square Station Every day at quarter past two And through the open window She hands Charlie a sandwich As the train comes rumbling through CHORUS
