I learned a similar version of this from an 8 yr.old friend whose parents were from the U.K., some 30 odd years ago.We used it as a secret count ...I couldn't tell you if that was it's original use or not,but it goes like this (spelling unknown)
   Eeny meeny macker racker
   Rare aye domma racker
   Ricker racker
   Romma racker
   Rom pom poosh.
