Subject: RE: Bazooka Zooka Bubble Gum
Here's an example of a jump rope rhyme that includes the line "nickle to buy a pickle" but doesn't mention bubble gum or chewing gum:


I went down town, to see Miss Brown.

she gave me a nickel, to buy a pickle.

The pickel was sour so she gave me a flower

The flower was black so she gave me a smack

The smack was hard so she gave me a card.

And on the card it said:

Little spanish dancer turn around (turn while jumping)
Little spanish dancer, touch the ground (touch ground)

Little spanish dancer tie your shoe (jump on one leg, pretend to tie shoe)

Little spanish dancer, sixty four skidoo (jump/exit rope area)
