>> I remember something about a girl dressed all in black black black, with her hair down her back back back, but I don't know that I ever knew that one completely.
That would be "Miss Mary Mack" -- though I must have learned a different variant. The one I knew went:
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 for 50 cents, cents, cents to see the elephants, elephants, elephants jump over the fence, fence, fence they jumped so high, high, high they touched the sky, sky, sky and didn't come back, back, back till the 4th of July, lie, lie
Then there were some who continued it with:
July don't walk, walk, walk July don't talk, talk, talk July don't eat, eat, eat with a fork and spoon, spoon, spoon
One of our friends here has a 9-yr-old daughter who occasionally coaxes me into playing the hand-slap games, and so far "Miss Mary Mack" is the only song we both know.
