Pease pudding hot, pease pudding cold,
Pease pudding in the pot - nine days old.
Some like it hot, some like it cold,
Some like it in the pot - nine days old.

Cinderella
Dressed in yellow
went to the ball
with ha handsome fells
How many kisses did she get?
1,2,3....
Christopher Columbus
Was a very brave man.
He sailed the ocean
In an old tin can.
And the waves went higher and higher and over
1,2,3...
The last two I remember from the 70s, whether they were used before that, I'm not sure.
oh god i remember that one.. my gran actually used to sing it to me when i was a wee thing... think the full lyrics are -
grannys in the kitchen doing a bit of stitching
down comes a bogeyman and knocks her out
ah! said granny thats not fair
ah! said the bogeyman I don't care.
or another one...
my aunt jane she brought me in
she gave me tea out of her wee tin
half a bap with sugar on the top
three black lumps out of her wee shop
actually not sure whether that last one is a legit skipping song, or just a song that the girls used to sing in the streets,
Keep the kettle boiling - miss a loop, you're out.
Sausage in the pan, sausage in the pan
Turn them over turn them over
sausage in the pan
Jelly on the plate, jelly on the plate
(Can't remember next line! )
Bluebells, cockle shells, easy ivy, - over!
Colours, where the rope swings backwards and forwards and each person jumps through and says a colour. If someone repeats it they are out and have to take the end of the rope.
Three, six, nine, the goose drank wine,
The monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line.
The lion choked, the monkey croaked,
And they all went to heaven in a little row boat,
Clap-Clap! Clap-Clap!
I've googled but nothing's jumping out at me.
A few HERE I remember skipping too during the 60s.
deffinately the bumper car one and one about Christopher columbus sailing the seven oceans. On that one you lost an eye, then an arm then went on one leg.
Eye-diddle-ee-eye-dye
Eat brown bread
I saw a sausage fall down dead
Up come a savaloy and hit him on the head
Eye-diddle-ee-eye-dye
Eat brown bread

Cinderella
Dressed in yellow
went to the ball
with ha handsome fells
How many kisses did she get?
1,2,3....
I remember a different version (we must be weird in North America):
Cinderella
Dressed in yella (yellow with an accent )
Went up stairs to kiss a fella
Made a mistake
Kissed a snake
How many doctors did it take?
1, 2, 3...
Also
Strawberry shortcake
Huckleberry pie
Who will be your lucky guy
a, b, c, d-- OMG YOU LOVE DARREN!
If anyone remembers "doublers" (turning the rope quickly so that it goes round twice for each jump) you did a doubler on the last word of the line, and for each letter of B-O-Y:
You naughty BOY
You stole my TOY
You named it ROY
You naughty B-O-Y
etc. etc.
This thread has reminded me of some others we used to chant
1, 2 3 mother caught a flea,
put it in the teapot
and made a cup of tea.
The flea jumped out
hit her on the snout
in came father
with his shirt hanging out.
and
Not last night but the night before
Two tom cats came knocking at my door
I went downstairs to let them in
they knocked me down with a rolling pin.
The rolling pin was made of brass
they turned me up and smacked my a**e.:D:D
These are great! Bless us, we were easily pleased back then.
Does anyone remember French skipping? Two people stood at either end, with feet apart, with a giant loop of elastic around their ankles, made by joining lots of rubber bands together.
Then someone in the middle performed different jumps, crossing the elastic over, or jumping in and around, or treading on the elastic. Then if you completed the jumps, you went up to the next level! The elastic was raised to knee height, then waist I think?!
Did we sing during it?
I DO remember it hurting like hell, as the elastic slid up and down your bare legs, taking the hair with it! :eek:

I remember that - we used to like the coloured rubber bands, and we'd try to get the thicker flat ones, because they lasted longer! Hurt more when they hit you, though.

Oh yes! When the whole thing snapped and twanged against your leg.
