Ok, might have gotten that wrong, but it's one of my favourites.Ĭool, Synth, I have not heard that one before. I liked the rhymes kids used for jumping ropes or my favouriteĪnd turn around and turn around until you make a stop. I think it is a fascinating phenomenon, the things arising from the culture of children, spread far and wide and passed down to younger generations. I would be very interested in hearing some of the versions y'all might have known from childhood, or other local children's rhymes for that matter. I found some other variations here, but none like the one I knew: linkolla Apparently, though it has been used thus, it's origins are much older than that. Apparently recently there was a lawsuit because some feel this rhyme was originally a racial slur. I was doing a bit of googling and found some interesting historical info about this rhyme. We loved this version because it was all nonsense and so much fun to say. I know that children's rhymes are often regional in their variations, and I learned this one in North Carolina. I learned a variation of Eenie Meenie Miney Moe as a child and I have never met anyone else who has ever heard of it.
