This has bugged me for many years, I hope someone knows it. When I was little we girls used to sing this little song/rhyme while we ran our fingers back and forth on our friends' forearm softly sorta tickling it, all I remember about the song is I'm pretty sure it ended with "Chinese, Japanese Indian Chief!" I think that was the very last line and when you say "Chief!" you do something like stop stroking the arm and give it a pinch or something right in the bend of the arm behind the elbow. I think the rhyme is about different occupations but I'm not positive. Maybe that's why it says Chinese Japanese Indian Chief. I have tried for so many years to remember it, I hope someone out there knows it. I think it may have been sang for when girls are doing their patty cake thing with their hands, I'm not sure what else you call that besides "patty-cake". Also I'm sure kids sang it while jump-roping. Please help me find this song so it won't bug me anymore and I can teach it to my daughter.

It rings a distant bell...seems to have "rich man, poor man, beggarman, theif;
Doctor, lawyer, Indian Chief" in it too.
That's all I remember--maybe the phrase will jar your memory!
