Method of determining who is "it"

Ink-a-bink-a
Bottle-a-ink-a
The cork fell out-a
And you stink-a

Submitter comment: This is a song we used to sing while trying to determine who
would be "it" while playing childhood games. In this song, each
person holds out a fist, and the leader sings the song while
touching each fist in the circle. The fist which is being pointed
to at the end of the song is not "it." And the song is sung and
fists are pointed to until there is only one person left. This
person is "it."
