This is stuck in my head. Who remembers old jump rope songs?!

Hello Operator, please give me number nine
And if you disconnect me, I'll chop off your--
Behind the 'frigerator, there lay a piece of glass
Miss Susie sat upon it, and broke her little--
Ask me no more questions, I'll tell you no more lies
The boys are in the bathroom, zipping up their--
Flies are in the meadow, the bees are in the park
Miss Susie and her boyfriend are kissing in the dark!

Goooood tiiimes....

[Xuut]

Cinderella dressed in yellow,
Went upstairs to kiss a fellow,
By mistake she kissed a snake.
How many doctors did it take?

Then you count.

And by the way my friends can sing the operator song off by heart really fast. I envy them.

[Megan (Fishy)]

XD I remember that one.

Ice Cream Sunday
Cherry on the top
Who's your boyfriend(girlfriend)?
I forgot.
Is it A? B? C? D?....

[Xuut]

Something to do with the start of their names...

Donald Duck was a one legged duck duck, one legged duck,
Donald Duck was a two legged duck duck, two legged duck,
Donald Duck was a three legged duck duck, three legged duck,

And so on until you run out of people to jump in and count hands and legs for or you loose. I forget how the Teddy Bear one goes...

[Megan (Fishy)]

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, go upstairs...
...or something like that.

Did you ever do this one?

Texaco, Mexico, over the hills to Mexico
Where they do the splits! Splits! Splits!
And do high kicks! Kicks! Kicks!
And turn around! Round! Round!
And touch the ground! Ground! Ground!

(And you had to do all these things while jump roping)

[Xuut]

Yes. XD

I was always terrible at jumping rope so I always spun it and therefore had to sing it. I was amazed at my friends who could do it though.

[SilverMoonArcher]

My friends said "Let's find out" instead of "I forgot" and skipped "Is it."

Holy carp, I used to sing the version I knew in the back room at the library. (Making flannelboards -- little storytelling devices -- gets really, really boring.)

Miss Susie had a steamboat
The steamboat had a bell
Miss Susie went to heaven
The steamboat went to
Hello operator
Please give me number nine
And if you disconnect me,
I'll kick you from
Behind the 'frigerator,
There was a piece of glass --
Miss Susie sat upon it
And hurt her little
Ask me no more questions,
Tell me no more lies;
The boys are in the bathroom
Zipping up their
Flies are in the bathroom,
Flies are in the park,
And boys and girls are kissing
Kissing in the
D - A - R - K
D - A - R - K
Dark, dark, dark!

I never knew it as a jump-rope song, though v.v

Also, I knew a really weird little routine called "Concentrate", and I'll just die if any of you heard of it.

[nathan_p]

No, I only heard of that one once I moved to Colorado.

[Megan (Fishy)]

Yeah! I didn't remember how it started.... Ours wasn't that much different, it started the same.

[Fate]

That's the version I grew up with.
