Can you remember your jump rope songs from childhood?
Just wondering if you can share the jump rope songs from your childhood. If you have daughters who are in grade school it would be great to hear what they are singing while they jump rope.
I don't remember them exactly but here are a few from the 50's.
Ice cream soda, Delawarie punch, tell me the nitials of your honey bunch. ABCDE...........and so on.
Not last night but the night before, 24 gypsies came a knocking at the door ( it goes on but can't remember the rest )
California oranges, tap me on the back.
I don't even know if jump rope is still popular, I hope so.

Lulu had a baby, his name was Tiny Tim; she put him in the bathtub to teach him how to swim.
He drank all the water, he ate all the soap, the next day he died with a bubble in his throat.
also.....
I won't go to Macy's any more, more, more
There's a big fat policeman at the door, door, door
He'll hit you with a (?????) and he'll make you pay a dollar
So I won't go to Macy's any more, more, more

The correct line just came to me -
"He'll grab you by the collar and he'll make you pay a dollar."
This was a long, long time ago, isn't it something how these things can come back if you think about them?
