Jump Rope Songs

[mamamia]

There's alot of great "old days" chats going on right now, I figured I'd get your memories going too. And so I'll ask...What was your favorite jump-rope song? With so many of us from around the globe, it'll be fun to see if any of our songs match up.

I'll start >>

Fudge, Fudge, Call the judge
Momma's havin' a baby
Poppa's going crazy

Wrap it up in tissue paper
Send it down the elevator

First Floor .....STOP
Second Floor ....MISS

Third Floor, turn around
Fourth Floor, touch the ground
Fifth Floor, get outta town by sundown, OR ELSE YOU'RE DEAD

BANG BANG, YOU'RE DEAD

Did anyone else do this one?? Can't wait to hear from you guys

I never did jump rope songs but my dd did! I have her book of jump rope songs put away in a tote. When I get my book case for my den I will get it back out. I saved the book because I remember dd and her friends singing those songs while they were having hours of fun jump roping.

Dd would also sing them when she would use her Skip It! I think she wore out 4 or 5 Skip Its before she outgrew them.

Only one I vaguely remember is the "sittin' in the tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G". Know there were a few others but can't remember even a line. Sucks to get old-er...

LOL! I remember it! You took your name and your 'crushes' name and it went like this>

Michael and Theresa, sittin' in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes love, then comes marriage
Then comes Theresa with a baby carriage

If it's a boy, give it a toy
If it's a girl, give it a curl

If it's triplets, give them Chic-A- Lets
But if it's twins, then give them pins

Is that the one Niko-San?

Down by the ocean,
Down by the sea,
Johnny broke a bottle and blamed it on me.
I told ma.
Ma told pa.
Johnny got a whippin' ha-ha-ha.
How many whippin's did he get....
(count number)

Cinderella,
Dressed in yella,
Went upstairs to kiss her fella.
Made a mistake
And kissed a snake

1,2,3...

The old grey mare
she sat on an electric chair
burned off her underwear
in popped another pair

(2nd person jumps in at this point and I can't remember what happens next)

[MTS04]

Here's one

I went downtown
To see Ms. Brown,
She gave me a nickel, to buy a pickle.
The pickle was sour, so I bought a flower.
The flower was dead, she gave me a tack.
The tack was sharp, she gave me a harp.
The harp was broke, she gave me a cloak.
The cloak was tight, she gave me a kite.
The kite away flew, and I did too. (jump out)

You people are breaking my brain. Clearing dust webs...

Miss Mary Mac,Mac,Mac,
All dressed in Black, Black,Black
Asked her Mother,Mother,Mother
For fifty cents,cents,cents,
To see the elelphants,elephants,elelphant
Jump over the fence,fence,fence,
They went so high,high, high,
They touched the sky,sky,sky
And never came back,back,back
Til the the fourth of July,
LIE,LIE,LIE!

And

MIss Molly had a baby
she named him Tiny Tim
She put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water
He ate up all the soap
What 's the rest??????????? You guys started this.

There was a weird one about a genie too.
Funny,I used to be a Double Dutch queen but now..HAH.

Some of the songs you are singing for jump rope songs we sang for the clapping games as well.

This one still pops in my head every time I use the phrase, "not last night but the night before"

Not last night but the night before
24 monsters came knockin' at my door
As they ran in I ran out OUT OUT.. (a person runs in to join the jumping, then at "out" a person tries to get out safely)

For the clapping game you just slap both hands like "giving 10" on the "out" part.

I miss clapping, I need to teach my niece.

[ravenmaniac]

We did the Mary Mack and Tiny Tim with clapping hands.

Miss Suzie had a baby, his name was Tiny Tim
She put him in the bath tub, to teach him how to swim
He drank up all the water, he ate up all the soap, he tried to eat the bath tub, but it wouldn't go down his throat
Miss Suzie called the doctor, Miss Suzie called the nurse, Miss Suzie called the lady with the alligator purse
Mumps said the doctor, measles said the nurse, hiccups said the lady with the alligator purse!

[Esmarelda]

Awwww! Brings back memories.

We did -

5 little monkeys
jumping on the bed
one fell off and broke his said
called the doctor
the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed"

(Start with 2 people jumping, if you both make it to the end, someone else comes in on no more monkeys and tags someone to leave)

Continue with
4 little monkeys and count on down.

We also did the Cinderella one, Miss Mary Mack and some others. I will see what else I can remember.

Oh, we did one to --

3, 6, 9,
the goose drank wine,
the monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line.
The line broke, the goose choked,
and they all went to heaven in a little row boat.
