Thread Name: a song called alla balla (children's rhyme?)
Subject: RE: a song called alla balla (children's rhyme?)
The versions in the first two postings appear to be counting-out rhymes:
    "Alla balla chicin calala, alla balla bu"
    "Ocka-bocka, stona-crocka, ocka-bocka-boo"

When I was a kid in the early 50s we had a similar one:
    "Ickle ockle, choc'let bottle, ickle ockle OUT"
