JUMP-ROPE RHYME

JOHNNY OVER THE OCEAN
JOHNNY OVER THE SEA
JOHNNY BROKE A POP BOTTLE
AND BLAMED IT ONTO ME
I TOLD MA, MA TOLD PA
JOHNNY GOT A LICKIN'
AND A "HA, HA, HA}"
HOW MANY LICKIN'S DID HE GET?
ONE, TWO, THREE, . . .

Submitter comment: YOU JUMP ROPE TO THE RHYME AND KEEP JUMPING UNTIL YOU MISS, COUNTING
EACH JUMP TO TELL HOW MANY LICKIN'S JOHNNY GOT.
