Reading this brought back amazing memories – my 5 and 6 year old daughters have been learning some jumprope/hand clapping rhymes and I was trying to teach them some I remembered from my youth – this helped me fill in a lot of holes. Some I remember but didn’t see here are: So-So and So-So Sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G First comes Love Then comes marriage Then comes So-So in a baby carriage Sucking his thumb Wetting his pants Doing the hula hula dance! Does anyone remember: Oh I wish I was a little bottle of Coke (repeat) I’d go slurpy, slurpy, slurpy and make everybody burpy Oh I wish I was a little bottle of Coke Oh I wish I was a little bar of soap (repeat) I’d go slidey, slidey, slidey, under everybody’s nightie Oh I wish I was a little bar of soap Oh I wish I was a little piece of glass (repeat) I’d go cut-ty, cut-ty, cut-ty, and make everybody bloody Oh I wish I was a little piece of glass etc. I know there were more verses, the elementary school kids used to sing it on the bus when I was in kindergarten 1970-71.

Does anyone remember a “patty cake” song where a verse was: (I dont’t know how to spell it so I’ll write it out phonetically) Bobo ski wahtin tahtin, eh eh, eh eh, boom, boom boom ….Litlle bitty wahtin tahtin, bobo ski wahtin tahtin, bo bo ski wahtin tahtin, eheh, eheh, BOOM.????
