Thread Name: Origins: Nickety, nackety, noo../Cooper of Fife
Subject: RE: Req: Nickety, nackety, noo, noo, noo
Referring to Doddy ("Where's Me Shirt?", see above), I remember he used to have a sort of rhyme that went something like this:

Nicky, nocky, nick, nock
Nicky, nocky, noo
Nicky, nocky, nick, nock
Nank you!

(I think that was how it went - does anyone remember it who could confirm?)

Sounds suspiciously as though it may have been derived from the Wee Cooper of Fife.
