[lace-chat] MORE Childhood Rhymes Chants
Hello all, No one has mentioned one I remember from my childhood (late 60's). This was a 'clapping' song - two girls faced one another and clapped their hands together, crossing arms etc in a pattern. The verse was: Miss Mary Mack, Mack Mack, Had silver buttons all down her back, back, back Unfortunately that is all that I can remember, but it had to have been at least half a century old at that time, because the sartorial detail would have be out of date by the twenties.

A clapping song that I remember; taught to me by my mother who knew it from her childhood, 1930s. My mother said, I never should, Play with the gypsies In the woods. If I did, She would say Naughty bad girl To disobey. Brenda On 12 Aug 2007, at 18:08, H. Muth wrote: No one has mentioned one I remember from my childhood (late 60's).

Quite gruesome and therefore a favourite :) It went (rough translation first, original in parentheses): Once little fishes in the sea were getting wed (Raz rybki w morzu braly slub) The waves were plashing: splash, splash, splash (Chlupaly fale: chlup, chlup, chlup) Then suddenly a great whale popped in (A wtem wieloryb wielki wpadl) And ate all of the company!
