Joe Offer	Origins: Five O'Clock Is Striking (6)	RE: Origins: Five O'Clock Is Striking	27 Apr 17
Our Jumprope Archive has this version: Nine o'clock is striking. (* from Missouri circa 1943 *) Mother may I go out? All the boys are waiting For to take me out. Some will give me apples. Some will give me pears. Some will give me fifty cents And kiss me on the stairs. I don't want the apples. I don't want the pears. I don't want the fifty cents To kiss me on the stairs. I'd rather do the dishes. I'd rather scrub the floor. I'd rather kiss the iceman Behind the kitchen door. The Jumprope Hypertext Archive came to us from a university professor from Florida, Stan Kulikowski II. I haven't heard from Stan for years.
