Yes, a dummy is a pacifier.

As I was told it (Canberra, Australia, 1979), a set of "pat-a-cake" motions, not the life-stages ones, went with the "ooh-aah, ooh-ah, lost me knickers, can't fnd me bra" component of some forms of the rhyme at hand, which seems to have incorporated it.

The duckpond and the swimming seem to be formulae ni a few versions that have crept in from (or are in common with: "Oh, Jemima, look at your Uncle Jim".

The version I (barely) remember went like this:
When Miss Suzy was a baby, a baby, when Miss Suzy was a baby, she went like this: Wah Wah.
When Miss Suzy was a toddler- No! No! Wah wah
When Miss Suzy was in kindergarten- Scribble Scribble No No Wah Wah
When Miss Suzy was in first grade- Write Write Scribble Scribble Scribble Wah wah
There were verses up to fifth grade, which I cannot remember- at which point we jumped up to teenager.
When Miss Suzy was a teenager she went like this: Chew-Pop, Chew-Pop, etc, Write Write, Scribble, Scribble, No, No, Wah Wah
When Miss Suzy was in high school, she went like this: Kiss, Kiss, Chew-Pop, Chew-Pop, ~ ~, Write, Write
When Miss Suzy was a mommy, a mommy, she went like this: Shh, Baby's sleeping, kiss, kiss
Grandma- Have a cookie
When Miss Suzy went to heaven- Amen Hallelujah.
There were interminable verses- as I remember, you went until you forgot something, at which point you were 'out' or the game was over.

When susy was a baby a baby a baby, when susy was a baby she went like this wah wah.

UK 90's version.

When Susie was a baby, a baby Susie was she went a 'goo-gah a goo-goo-gah!'

When Susie was a school girl, a school Susie was she went a 'Miss, Miss I can't do this I got my nickers in a great big twist.

When Susie was a teenager, a teenager Susie was she went a 'Ooh ahh I lost my bra in my boyfriends car- his car is black his car is white, I left it there on a Saturday night.

When Susie was a mother, a mother Susie was she went a rock a rock arock around the clock! (Rock arms and spin in a circle)

Ect. the other verses are like the previous posted other than susie being a ghost instead of going to hell.

Liverpool - more years ago than I care to remember;
Susie had a baby, she called it Sonny Jim,
She put it in the bath tub to learn it how to swim,
It swam right to the bottom , it swam right to the top,
First it did the breaststroke, then it did the chop(?)

From what I remember it was:

Whan miss Suzy was a baby a baby a baby when miss suzy was a baby shw went like this, waa waa

Whan miss suzy was a toddler a toddler a toddler when miss suzy was a toddler she went like this, waa waa, tie my shoe.

It continued untill it ended up like this:
Baby: waa waa
Toddler: tie my shoe
Child: give me back my dollie
Teenager: Oh Ah lost my bra in my boyfriends car
Adult: Hey girls look at my ring
Mother: Rock a bye baby
Grandmother: Oh my achy breaky back

Then me and my friend's added on verses that we liked

Dead: I'm flying I'm flying
Ghost: I'm invisable

At the end we say: I'm back!

GUEST Catherine, thanks for sharing your version of this rhyme with us. Thanks also for remembering to add when and where you learned it and how you performed it.

Catherine, is a "dummy" the same thing as a "pacifier" (also called "binky" in the USA since about the 1990s)-a pacifier is like the rubber typed top to a baby bottle that is given to a baby and sometimes a toddler for them to suck on.

If no, what is a "dummy"?

Thanks again!

i only the pebble one and i can only remember parts..

but i thought there was a part like
when pepple was in school, in school, in school when pebbles was in school she said two plus two is four, four plus four is eight, eight plus eight is sixteen...



...no? every thing else was accurate i think.
