GUEST,Jenny Children's Street Songs (179* d) RE: Children's Street Songs 16 Mar 05


There's a bit way back about 'Elvis presley, girls are sexy, sitting in the back seat drinking pepsi' and I remember that when I was eight (less than ten years ago) we used to sing that as part of a clapping game. It went

I went to a chinese bakers shop to buy a loaf of bread, bread, bread
He wrapped it up in a five pound note and this is what he said, said, said, my name is...(elvis presely bit).

We also used to sing that susie song, (you know, the 'when susie was a baby...' only susie lost her bra when she was a teenager) and it went so far and then changed track to go 'down, down baby, down by the roller coaster, sweet sweet cherry, no place to go', but I don't remember really how it went. We did skipping games too, something about salt and pepper I remember. We also did variations on the chinese bakers shop one and played a lot of games like that. I've noticed me and my little sister learnt a lot of songs like that (like 'a sailor went to sea, sea, sea, to see what he could see, see, see) but my youngest sister didn't. I think it could be to do with a mixture of things. Even in the last ten years lots has changed and it's not cool to do things like clapping games and jump rope games, which I think it a shame.
