Subject: RE: Origins: I Paula Taska Nonsense Song (Roud 12944)
Interesting! I asked about this song recently in a local history group for Whitby, North Yorkshire. My sister and I both remember this clearly as a clapping song from around 1970, with words very similar to the German and London variants above. Never written down of course so the spelling is anyone's guess:
Em pom pea, pommallie, pomma gastie
Em pom pea, pommallie.
So far me
Ekkerdarmie
So far me
