3 6 9, the goose drank wine...
Who sung that? That was a kid's skipping rhyme.
That's from The Clapping Song by Shirley Ellis - I mentioned this higher up the thread but so far no-one else has mentioned it.
I heard a record from the 1930s or 40s (I can't find any info on it now) that had similar words ("my auntie told her, I'd kissed a soldier", etc.)
