How come nobody remembers the yanky doodle rhyme at the end? I was born in '84 and grew up in the early nineties and in Atlanta we did it like this: Down by the river of the hanky panky where the bullforogs jump from bank to bank singing eep, ipe, oop, opps Chillie willy ding dong Play a game of ping pong I pledge alligence to the flag Michael Jackson is a fad (we didn't even know what fag meant growing up let alone say it) Coca-cola burned him up Now He's drinking 7-up 7-up has no caffine now we're singin' "Billie Jean" "Billie Jean" is out of style Now we're singing Bobbie Brown Bobbie Brown is not a song... I forgot what came next as everything goes hazy from here but then it went into this: Michael Jackson went to town, riding on a pony stuck a feather in his hat and called it macoroni Girl Scout, Girl Scout, Do your duty, Don't forget to wash your booty (or tooti if we were naughty... tooti was our slang for vagina) Boy Scout Boy Scout Do your trick don't forget to wash your... Oh and we didn't jump rope to this, we did the circle hand clap like a few other people said.
