Ladies...Here is a question?

Question

I have two nieces 11 and 12 I am trying to teach them some rhymes other little girls sang when they was younger. i grew up in the 80's and we use to do jump rope songs and hand clapping songs. Is there any you remember that you can share with us? Thanks

Answer 1

The space goes down, down baby, down, down the roller coaster. Sweet, sweet baby, sweet, sweet, don't let me go. Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa pop. Shimmy, shimmy, rock. Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa pop. Shimmy, shimmy, rock. I met a girlfriend - a triscuit. She said, a triscuit - a biscuit. Ice cream, soda pop, vanilla on the top. Ooh, Shelly's out, walking down the street, ten times a week. I read it. I said it. I stole my momma's credit. I'm cool. I'm hot. Sock me in the stomach three more times

I wish I had a nickle,
I wish I had a dime,
I wish I had a boyfriend
to kiss me all the time.
My mom gave me a nickle,
my dad gave me a dime,
my sister gave me a boyfriend
to kiss me all the time.
My mom took back the nickle,
my dad took back the dime,
but no one took the boyfriend
who looked like Frankenstein.

Miss Suzie had a baby, The baby's name was 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,
He tried to eat the bathtub, but it wouldn't go down his throat
Miss Suzie called the doctor, Miss Suzie tried the nurse,
Miss Suzie called the lady with the alligator purse,
Mumps said the doctor, Measles said the nurse,
Nothing said the lady with the alligator purse,
Miss Suzie kicked the doctor, Miss suzie hit the nurse,
And then she paid the lady with the alligator purse

Answer 2

OK I am not sure I've got all the words right but here goes...(been a looooong time!)

Miss Mary Mack, Mack
All dressed in black, black
With silver buttons, buttons
All down her back, back

She asked her mother, mother
For fifty cents, cents
To see the elephants, elephants
Climb up the fence, fence

They climbed so high, high
They touched the sky, sky
And didn't come back, back
Til the Fourth of July

_______________________________

Miss Suzy Playmate (clap clap)
Come out and play with me
And bring your dollies three
Climb up my apple tree
Slide down my rain barrel
Into my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends
Forever more!

____________________________________

There's one more that begins:
Bobo see wottin tottin
Eh Eh boom boom boom boom
that's all I remember for that one...maybe someone else can help?

Have fun!

Answer 3

Hand Clap:
Miss Suzy had a tuck boat the tugboat had a bell, the tugboat went to heaven, miss Suzy went to hello operator please ring me number 9, and if you disconnect me I'll kick you from behind the refrigerator, there stood a piece of glass, miss Suzy fell upon it and broke her little ask no more questions, I'll tell you no more lies, the boys are in the bathroom pulling down their flies are in the city, bees are in the park, miss Suzy and her boyfriend are kissing in the dark.

I guess it's steamboat, not tug boat. It's been a while, give me a break.........We were doing this rhyme in 4th or 5th grade.
