A sailor went to sea, sea, sea
to see what he could see, see, see.
But all that he could see, see, see
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea.
This was harder with double jump rope jumping because you had to speed up at the same time on the "see, see, sees"!

Not last night but the night before, 24 gypsies came a knocking at the door, I asked them what they wanted and this is what they said. Spanish dancers do the twist,(then the jumper had to twist) Spanish dancers turn around (jumper turns around) Spanish dancers give a high kick, (jumper gives a high kick) Spanish dancers get out of this town.(jumper runs out and it is the next persons turn

We used to sing, "Miss Lucy had a baby, she named him Tiny Tim. She put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim. He drank up all the water, he ate up all the soap, he tried to eat the bathtub, but it wouldn't go down his throat." Miss Lucy called the Doctor, Miss Lucy, called the Nurse, Miss Lucy called the lady with the alligator purse".....
I also remember Strawberry Shortcake, Huckle Berry Pie, the letter I skip on will be my lucky guy" and you'd sing the ABC's and guess a guys name with the letter you miss on. I'm sure there were more, but I can't remember.

Just wondering if you can share the jump rope songs from your childhood. If you have daughters who are in grade school it would be great to hear what they are singing while they jump rope.
I don't remember them exactly but here are a few from the 50's.
Ice cream soda, Delawarie punch, tell me the nitials of your honey bunch. ABCDE...........and so on.
Not last night but the night before, 24 gypsies came a knocking at the door ( it goes on but can't remember the rest )
California oranges, tap me on the back.
I don't even know if jump rope is still popular, I hope so.
