this ia what i was taught in the 70's in melb primary school.

there lived in china a very old man
and his name was chicker racker ching chong chang
his legs where long and his feet were short
that poor little man couldn't walk at all

chicker racker ching chong, chi chicker roany
ala bala fat man, oak co coney
ichty kitchy catapillar
ica bok, ica bok
oak co coney.
