OLD LADY MACK

OLD LADY MACK MACK, MACK, 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 CENT, CENT, CENT.
TO SEE THE ELEPHANT, ELEPHANT, ELEPHANT, JUMP THE FENCE, FENCE,
FENCE. SHE JUMPED SO HIGH, HIGH, HIGH, TILL HE TOUCH THE SKY, SKY
SKY. AND HE NEVER CAME BACK, BACK, BACK, TILL THE FOURTH OF JULY-
LY-LY. I REMEMBER PLAYING THIS HAND GAME WHEN I WAS ABOUT TEN YEARS
OLD. IT TAKES TWO PEOPLE, BOTH FACING EACH OTHER. WE CLAP OUR
HANDS TOGETHER TO THE RHYME UNTIL WE PICKED UP A GOOD RHYTHM. THE
FIRST ONE TO LOSE THE RHYTHM WAS OUT.
