Here's a couple that I learned from my big sister growing up in New England during the 60's: A double jump-rope song: Not last night, but the night before 24 robbers came knocking at my door as I ran out - they ran in (1st jumper hops out, 2nd jumps in) and hit me over the head with a rolling pin It hurt, it hurt, it hurt so bad I asked them what they wanted and this is what they said: (jumper performs the following directions) Spanish Dancer, turn a-round Spanish Dancer, touch the ground Spanish Dancer, do the splits Spanish Dancer, give a high kick And this was just a ryhme we all loved: One bright day in the middle of the night Two dead boys got up to fight They turned back-to-back and faced each other Drew their swords and shot each other A deaf police man heard the noise And came and shot the two dead boys If you don't believe this lie, it's true Go ask the blind man - he saw it too!
