Here’s an obnoxious one that’s supposed to sound like a knock-knock joke: Knock, knock, who’s there, Micky Mouse’s underwear!

Here’s a real funny/odd song, I heard it once on the radio a looong time ago: Ta ra ra boom-di-a, there is no school today, the teacher passed away, we threw her in the bay! She is not coming out, she smells like saurkraut!

I liked this one: Six little spotted frogs, sittin on a spotted log eating the most delicious grubs Yum yum! Then one little spotted frog ??? I forget the rest, I think he falls off the log or something… And don’t forget the 99 bottles of beer on the wall… guaranteed to drive parents nuts on long car rides!! (why are kids drinking 99 bottles of beer anyway?!)

Lisa fall out, Joe saves her life now I pronounce you husband and wife! Oh yeah, I remembered another silly one: He’s popeye the sailor man! He lives in a garbage can! Something something…

I am trying to remember some songs people used to sing in school., mostly sung to other tunes. I could only remember a few. Isn’t it funny how a lot of the games/songs/rhymes are rather, uh, rude/crude? I think these would get you kicked out if you sang em in school now!! (sung to ‘Joy to the world’) Joy to the world, the teacher’s dead. We barbequed her head! What happened to the body? We flushed it down the potty! And round and round it goes! And round and round it goes! And rou-ound! and round, and round it goes! (Sung to ‘deck the halls’) Deck the halls with gasoliiine! fa la la la la, la la la la Light the match and watch it gleam! fa la la la la, la la la la Now the school is burnt to ashes! fa la la, fa la la, fa la la Aren’t you glad you played with matches? Fa la la la la, la la la la. Then there’s Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin layed an egg! The batmobile lost a wheel, and Joker got away- hey! And… I remember the ‘you can’t get to heaven’ one, only all the lines rhymed, like “Oh you can’t get to heaven on a rollerskate, cause you’ll roll right past the pearly gates!” Oh you can’t get to heaven with ???? I can’t remember any others. I also know the ‘web-footed friends one. I heard it on Tiny Toons, Plucky Duck sang it. It went: Be kind to your web-footed friends For a duck may be somebody’s bother Be kind to your friends in the swamp For the weather is ve-ry damp Well, you may think that this is the end And it is. And I heard this one different: 3 6 9 the goose drank wine the monkey sat on the street car line the line broke the monkey got choked and they went to heaven in a little row boat? They actually sang part of that rhyme in the song “Red Red Wine”. It was also in a Stephen King book, “Insomnia”.

Here are a few I remember that weren’t for clapping, just to sing/say: Have you ever in your life seen the devil with his wife? No I’ve never in my life seen the devil with his wife. Have you eever iver over in your leefe life lofe seen the deevil divil dovil with his weefe wife wofe? No I’ve neever, niver… etc etc. Then there’s anna, banana, banana SPLIT! Which is either for doing the splits or for chinese jumprope… Here’s a funny one you say. There’s also a version of it in the movie The Labyrinth. Person 1: You remind me of a man! 2: What man? 1: The man with the power! 2: What power?? 1: The power of Whoodoo! 2: Who do? 1: You do! 2: I do what!? 1: You remind me of a man!! And on and on… The way I did it, we would keep acting more frustrated as we went on. Another one like that is where one person says “thank you” the other says “you’re welcome” first says “thank you for saying you’re welcome” second says “thank you for saying thank you for saying you’re welcome” and on and on… I also remember the X marks the spot one. You do it on someone’s back to give them the chills. My friends and I LOVED that one, we’d do it over and over hehe… It was something like this: Circle circle, (mark circles on their back) X X, (mark x’s) spider running down your back, (tickle your fingers lightly down their back) Tight squeeze, (squeeze em) cool breeze, (blow on their back) now you’ve got the chillies! Another game is where you say “I won a _____ (whatever) such as: First person: I won a bicycle Second person: I two a bicycle first person: I three a bicycle second: I four a bicycle first: I five a bicycle second: I six a bicycle first: I seven a bicycle second: I eight a bicycle first person: You ATE a bicycle?!?! This works best with an ‘unsuspecting’ person, hehe… My sister made one up where you don’t stop at 8. You say “I one a turner” and you go up to eighteen, so the person says “I eighteen a turner” and you say “You ate Tina Turner!?” heh.

There are a few songs we used to use to pick who would be “It” in a game. One was the bubblegum one. (bubblegum bubblegum in a dish) another was something about a railroad track. Then of course there was: Eeny, meeny, miney, moe. catch a tiger by the toe. if he hollers let him go. eeny, meeny, miney, moe! someone added: My mother told me to pick the very best one and that is you! One each word, you were supposed to point to one person.

I know some jumprope songs: I like coffee, I like tea. I like the boys and the boys like me. Yes, no, maybe so. Yes, no, maybe so. You keep going, whenever you trip up, whatever answer you were on, that’s the answer to whether the boys like you. Then there’s teddybear. You do whatever it tells you: Teddybear, teddybear, turn around. Teddybear, teddybear, touch the ground. Teddybear, teddybear, jump up high. Teddybear, teddybear touch the sky. We always used the bluebells one to start jumping. If someone didn’t want to jump in, we’d swing the rope back and forth instead of all the way around, and at Over we’d go over. Bluebells, cockleshells, evy, ivy, over! Then we’d start whichever rhyme we were doing. The way I played Chinese jump rope is I just would sing/do: in, out, side by side! On, in, out. Then if you do that without messing up, the people make the rope higher. In is both feet inside the ropes. Out is both feet out of the ropes. Side by side, you jump so your feet are “straddling” (one on each side of) one rope, the you jump up and over so both feet are straddling the other rope. On is one foot on each rope. That’s the hardest part!

I knew that Macy’s one too, but we said Mexico! The way we played it, you would put your hands together with them pointing toward the other person, the other person would put theirs together, and you put your hands side by side. To clap, you would each put one hand up but still facing sideways and clap the other person’s hand, then each go down. When the words were 3 together, you’d clap the same hands 3 times instead of switching. It got pretty hard when you tried to go fast! : I don’t wanna go to Mexico no more-more-more. There’s a big fat policeman at my door-door-door. He took me by the collar, and made me pay a dollar, That’s why I don’t go to Mexico no more-more-more. It made less sense than Macy’s, but it rhymes better! I also know this one: I met my boyfriend at the candy shop. He bought me candy, he bought me cake. He bought me home with a bellyache! Mama, mama, I’m so sick! Call the doctor, quick-quick-quick! Doctor, doctor, what to do? (or something like that, I always get that part mixed up with the “let’s hear the rhythme” one) Count to five and you’ll be alive. One, two, three, four, five. I’m alive! Six, seven, eight, nine, ten. I’m dead again! (silly huh?)

I knew this one a little differently: Miss Suzy had a steam boat, the steamboat had a bell DING DING! Miss Suzy went to heaven, the steamboat went to… Hell-o operator, please give me number nine, and if you disconnect me, I’ll chop off your… Behind the fridgerator, there was a piece of glass! Miss Suzy sat upon it, and broke her little… Ask me no more questions, tell me no more lies! The boys are in the bathroom, zipping up their… Flies are in the city, the bees are in the park! Miss Suzy and her boyfriend are kissing in the D-A-R-K D-A-R-K DARK DARK DARK ! The dark is like a movie, a movie’s like a show! A show is like a tv set? and that is all I know-know-know! I know the other one about Miss Suzy too, where she goes ooh, aah. At least on version of it. It’s a little raunchy: Miss Suzy was a baby, a baby, a baby, Miss Suzy was a baby,and this is what she said! “ooh, aah, ooh aah aah!” (pretend to suck your thumbs, once each word) Miss Suzy was a schoolgirl, a schoolgirl, a schoolgirl! Miss Suzy was a schoolgirl, and this is what she said! “ooh, aah, ooh aah aah!” (flip your hair back over your shoulders once each word) Miss Suzy was a teenager, a teenager, a teenager, Miss Suzy was a teenager, and this is what she said! “ooh, aah, I lost my bra! I left it in my boyfriend’s car!” Miss Suzy was a teacher, a teacher, a teacher, Miss Suzy was a teacher, and this is what she said! “ooh, aah, ooh aah aah!” (shake your finger once each word) Miss Suzy was a mother, a mother, a mother, Miss Suzy was a mother, and this is what she said! “ooh, aah, ooh aah aah!” (rock a pretend baby in your arms) Miss Suzy was a grandmother, a grandmother, a grandmother, Miss Suzy was a grandmother, and this is what she said! “ooh, aah, ooh aah aah!” (rock in a pretend rocking chair) Miss Suzy went to heaven, to heaven, to heaven, Miss Suzy went to heaven, and this is what she said! “ooh, aah, ooh aah aah!” (flap your “wings) Miss Suzy went to he-ell, to he-ell, to he-ell, Miss Suzy went to he-ell, and this is what she said! “ooh, aah, ooh aah aah!” (pretend to be poked by a pitchfork at each word)
