Here's another version of Down By The Banks of the Hanky Panky:


"I dont remember the whole thing, but this is as much as i can remember:

down by the banks of the hanky panky where the bullfrogs jump from bank to bank singin eeps ipps ops oops listen to the rhythm of the ding dang dong. micheal jackson went to town pepsi cola shot him down dr. pepper fixed him up now were talkin 7-up. 7-up has no caffine now were takin billie jean.....

i dont remember the rest.

while ur sayin that. you put you hands out to the side. one person puts there hand on top of yours and on the other side the other persons hand is below yours. so when one person slaps your hand, you slap the person on your other sides hand. but you have to keep the beat of the song or you are out and you start all over. the beat between each hand clap is about 1/2 second long."

Btw, I have posted a number of examples of children's rhymes on this thread that were first posted on Octoblog. Members of that blog have given me permission to reposts examples of children's rhymes that are posted on their "children's schoolyard games" thread.

Similar to Mudcat, Octoblog accepts comments from both members & guests on its thread of children's schoolyard games. I'm not a member of that blog, but I have posted on that thread a number of since I first learned about it on another Mudcat thread.

If you're interested in a great resource on children's rhymes, check out that Octoblog link. And, while you're there, it would be great if you would post some examples of children's rhymes on that thread.
