I should explain my "official" comment.

This form (besides being the one I grew up with, of course) has the right scansion to maintain a proper marching cadence, which the "to eat", "pony", and "peanut" forms don't. And it circles around to the direction/remainder pun on "left".

In reviewing my post and thinking back to my childhood, I have to revise what I wrote just a little. It was "forty-five" children back then. Big deal!
