Ooey Gooey was a worm,
who did not have a brain
He sat upon a railway track,
and didn't hear the train.
The train came roaring round the bend,
The driver gave a squeal,
The guard got out his pocket knife,
And scraped him off the wheel.
Ooey Gooey!
Thank you for your picture
I think it's very nice.
I hung it in the attic
to scare away the mice.
This is sung to a hand smacking game
Oh Mary Mac, Mac Mac
All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back.
She asked her mother, mother, mother
For fifteen cents, cents, cents
To see the elephant, elephant, elephant
Jump the fence, fence, fence.
He jumped so high, high, high
He touched the sky, sky, sky
And he didn't come back, back, back
Till the fourth of July, ly, ly.
Deciding Who is It when playing a game of Tag
One potato, two potato, three potato, four,
five potato, six potato, seven potato more.
Icha bacha, soda cracker,
Icha bacha boo.
Icha bacha, soda cracker, out goes Y-O-U!
(This chant is used to find the first person to be "It" when beginning a game. All players put their fisted hands together in a circle and one person starts the chant by tapping each fist in succession. When "Y-O-U" is said, the person whose fist is tapped puts that fist behind their back. Then the chant starts again with the chanter starting with the fist of someone else. As soon as one person has both hands out of the circle they are "It". )
