Chicken and Rice and Mashed Potatoes!
Uno dos siete:I met my boyfriend at the candy store
 * He bought me ice cream, he bought me cake
 * He brought me home with a bellyache
 * I said, "Momma, Momma, I feel sick,
 * Call the doctor quick, quick, quick!"
 * "Doctor, Doctor, will I die?"He Said Close Your Eyes And Count To Five!

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5...) "I'm alive on channel 5 Skoobedo on channel 3

The first part (uno, dos, siete) is done by both people linking their pinkies, but crossed. So, one person's left pinkie is with the other person's right, and so on. Each word, you cross the pinkies over and under. The next part (I said an east, a west) is done "individually". When "east" and "west" and said, each person puts their right hand on their left shoulder and their left hand on their right shoulder, respectively. The rest of the handclap is done by a fast tempo. When time comes for "quick, quick, quick", the clapping is quick so each word gets a clap, do it with both hands.

Charlie Brown Went Downtown I went downtown to see james Brown, he gave me a nickel, to buy a pickle, but the pickle was sour, so he gave me a flower, the flower was dead so this is what he said "Down down baby, down by the rollercoaster, sweet sweet baby, never going to let you go, Shimmee shimmee cocoa pop, shimmee shimmee pow. he gave me a bowl the bowl was crap so he gave me a smack A Slightly Different Version of Charlie Brown
 * I went downtown to see Charlie Brown.
 * He gave me a nickel so I bought myself a pickel.
 * The pickle was sour so I bought myself a flower.
 * The flower was dead so I said,
 * "Down, down, baby, down by the roller coaster."
 * Just because I kissed ya, doesn't mean I love ya."
 * Sugar, sugar cocoa puff! Sugar, sugar pow wow!"
 * Sugar, sugar cocoa puff! Sugar, sugar pow wow!"

Miss Mary Mack
Miss Mary Mack, mack, mack

All dressed in black, black, black

With silver buttons, buttons, buttons

All down her back, back, back

She asked her mother, mother, mother

Jump over the fence, fence, fence

She jumped so high, high, high

She touched the sky, sky, sky

And never came back back back 'till the 4th of July, ly, ly!

You first start out with crossing your right hand on your left shoulder and your left hand your right shoulder, then you slap your thighs and clap your hands, then you clap your partners hands (your right to her right, then her left to your left) 3 times and then you repeat crossing your arms and so on until you have finished the song. The one from White is For Magic differs. It says:

 * This one is interesting, it has the same hand movements as the Midwest version above, and "Bananarama" is clearly a British 80s adaptation of "banana-wana", but it also has the moonshine part from the Appalachian version listed here. Vashti (talk) 01:48, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

There's a two-part blog series here and here which has several more examples and concludes that the rhyme originated in the African-American community as "Miss Sue from Alabama". Vashti (talk) 20:46, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

My Auntie Anna
My Auntie Anna plays the pia-na

24 hours a day SPLIT!

First you stand opposite your partner then use your right hand to clap against your partner's right hand then hands together and keep on repeating until you say SPLIT! Then you split your legs. The first person to fall down 'loses.' It can also be played in a circle by clapping your hands together and against your neighbour's.

Playmate
Say Say Oh play mate

Come out and play with me.

And bring your dollies three,

Climb up my apple tree.

Slide down my rainbow,

Into my cellar door,

And we'll be jolly friends

Forever more more more more more!

So sorry playmate,

I cannot play with you.

My dolly has the flu,

She’ll cry boo hoo hoo hoo.

Ain’t got no rain barrel,

Ain’t got no cellar door.

But we’ll be jolly friends.

Forever more more more more more!

One of your palms face up and the other down( same as your partner)clap together then against each other (push) and then your hands together. Repeat.

Mama Mama can't you see: Mama Mama can't you see What the baby's done to me Took away my MTV Now I'm watching dumb Barney Tic-Tac-Toe three in a row Barney got shot by G.I Joe Mama called the doctor and the doctor said Don't stop clapping till your hands get red.

Cherry Cherry Ding Dong
Cherry Cherry Ding dong I'm telling mommy (turn around cross arms) Cherry cherry ding dong I know karote Cherry cherry diby dong My dad's in the army Crisscross applesauce, if you cross you know you lost (crisscross your arms, by the end if your arms are crossed "you know you lost")

Mary Had a Little Lamb
Mary had a little lamb,

she tied him to the heater,

every time he turned around,

he burned his big fat butt

Peter, peter, pumpkin eater,

had a wife but couldn't keep her,

so he put her in a shot gun shell,

and shot her all the way to...

Hello operator, give me number nine,

if you disconnect me,

I'll kick you in the...

Behind the iron curtain,

there was a piece of glass,

when Mary sat upon it,

she hurt her little...

Ask me no more questions,

I'll tell you no more lies,

and that's the end of Mary,

and her little l-l-l-lies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.85.208.217 (talk) 09:13, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
