Correction-

Imo, such projects should include racial/ethnic demographical information about the individuals who remember these rhymes.

Also, sorry. I forgot to say thanks to Weasel. Thanks also, mg, for sharing that example and including demographical information.

mg, I've read the Spanish dancer version before, but hadn't associated the Spanish dancers with Gypsies [meaning the Spanish dancers were Gypsies?}. Or are you saying that the rhyme said "Gypsy dancers" instead of saying "Spanish dancers"?
