Post 21 of 30: A Rope-Skipping Song


My wife remembers this, from her childhood, jumping rope in the neighborhood:

Cinderella, dressed in yella
Went downtown to meet her fella
On the way her girdle busted
How many people were disgusted?

Then, counting as you jumped: 1, 2, 3 . . .

Cracks me up to think about it!

Hmmm . . . I remember:

Cinderella, dressed in yella
Went upstairs to kiss a fella
Made a mistake and kissed a snake
How many doctors did it take?

1,2,3, etc.


I'm guessing that not too many of us knew what girdles were back in the 1980's.

(I think, though, that the girdle one is definitely funnier.)
