Jump Rope and Counting Song

DOWN IN THE VALLEY WHERE THE GREEN GRASS GROWS,
THERE SAT ________ AS SWEET AS A ROSE,
SHE SANG SHE SANG SHE SANG SO SWEET,
ALONG CAME ________ AND KISSED HER ON THE CHEEK. HOW MANY KISSES DID SHE GET? . . . .

(SHE GETS AS MANY KISSES AS THE JUMPS SHE MAKES. THE SPACES ARE FILLED WITH THE NAMES OF THE PERSON WHO IS JUMPING AND THE BOY SHE LIKES.)
