Lol, did anyone do Miss Suzie? That was one we had to do out of teacher-earshot. :o

Miss Suzie had a steamboat
The steamboat had a bell
Miss Suzie went to heaven
The steamboat went to...
Hello operator
Please give me #9
And if you disconnect me
I'll kick your little...
Behind the 'frigerator
There was a piece of glass
Miss Suzie sat on top of it
And broke her little...
Ask me no more questions
And tell me no more lies
The boys are in the bathroom
Zipping up their...
Flies are in the meadow
And bees are in the ark
Miss Suzie's at the movies
Kissing in the d-a-r-k d-a-r-k
DARK DARK DARK!

We thought we were "so bad." Now, I see how elementary school it was. :D

Concentration and Skip-It (the toy) were the best things ever.

OMG!! My niece loves these games. Ima have to hit with some of these new games.

We did this version too. except in our version, it was "Miss Susie had a seagull, the seagull had a bell...." and at the end it was "Miss Suzie's at the movies kissing in the d-a-r-k, DARK is like the movies, the movies like a show. The show is like a TV set and that is all I know. I know I know my Ma, I think I know my Dad, I think I know my sister with the apple on her head."

Hm...now that I think about it, thats pretty weird lol

Lol, I knew there was more to it, but I couldn't remember it then, sho' can't remember it now. :D

Hmmmm, now I remember why this thread died seven years ago.

my favs are

down by the river (we use to say grandma said your booty stanky. lol)
little sally walker (was walking down the street...)
sister rita (i'm going to kentucky, i'm going to the fair, to see my sister rita with the flowers in her hair...)
slide (it was always who could do it the fastest)
boogie nights (boogie night, ooohhhh, boogie night, that's alright, we gon have a party...)
ms mary mack (the extended version lol)

and some more i cant think of

Everyone seems to be calling it this, but we always said "Down by the BANKS" so that way it rhymed. I'd never heard it with "River" until this thread.

Look who's here
Punchinella, Punchinella,
Look who's here
Punchinella in the zoo
So what can you do?
Punchinella, Punchinella
What can you do, Punchinella in the zoo
Oh we can do it too,
Punchinella, Punchinella
We can do it to
Punchinella in the zoo.

Little Sally Walker
Walking down the street
She didn't know what to do
So she jumped in front of me
Said, Go on girl
Shake that thang, shake that thang, shake that thang
Go on girl
Shake that thang, shake that thang, stop.

Keep the Beat or Lick the Seat!

"Keep the beat or lick the seat!"
*Pat on the lap*
*Pat on the lap*
*clap*
*Pat on the lap*
*Pat on the lap*
*clap*
*Dionysus snaps her left fingers and says her name*
*Dionysus snaps her right fingers and says christiangirl*

If christiangirl loses her concentration or the beat, or can't come up with someone's name quickly when she snaps her right fingers, she has to lick the seat. :p

Ewwww! I refuse to play out of principle. I won't subject anyone to that. Who knows whose booty meat used to be in that chair.
