My apologies. It seems that there is already three Mudcat threads on this children's rhymes.

Here's one: Lyr Req: A Little Dutch boy (and Dutch girl)

And here's two: Lyr Req: I'm a little dutch girl

And here's three: Lyr Add: I'M A LITTLE DUTCH GIRL (jumprope chant)

**

I still think there may be connection between the handclap {or jumprope rhyme} and the song that Robert is seeking.

Best wishes to you, Robert, and also to your friend.
