[okismoki]

yum yum bubbly gum,

stick it up a coppers bum,

when its brown,

pull it down,

yum yum bubbly gum.

[Joto]

(my bold)

The Belle Stars did a version of it, back in about 1982/3, It's called "The Clapping Song".

[Joto]

[Joto]

I found it PT

[Nodens]

Higgledy, piggledy, my black hen,

She lays eggs for gentlemen;

Sometimes nine, sometimes ten;

Higgledy, piggledy, my black hen.

 

One fine day, in the middle of the night,

Two dead men got up to fight;

Back-to-back they faced each other,

Drew their swords and shot each other.

 

There was a man called Michael Finnigan,

He grew whiskers on his chinnigan;

The wind came out and blew them in again,

Poor old Michael Finnigan.

[Joto]

Thanks sally and Nodens

Nordens I think a few folks on here was trying to remember that middle verse.

Don't think has been added already?It was a skipping rhyme.

Nebucanezer(sp) the king of the jews

Bought his wife a pair of shoes

When the shoes began to wear

Nebucanezer began to swear

And these are the words he said

Lady lady touch the ground lady lady turn around

Lady lady read your book lady lady take your hook.

 

The boy stood on the burning deck his lips were all a quiver

He gave a cough his leg fell off and floated down the river.

[Joto]

Thanks nan, I haven't heard that skipping rhyme before, I'll pass it on to my grand daughter. I hope you're keeping well nan

My mother told me ,

If I wous goodie,

That she would buy me,

A rubber dollie,

My auntie told her,

I'd kissed a soldier,

So she won't buy me,

that rubber dolly.
