JUMP-ROPE RHYME

NOT LAST NIGHT BUT THE NIGHT BEFORE,
24 ROBINS CAME KNOCKIN' AT MMY DOOR.
AS I WENT OUT, THEY WENT IN,
HIT ME OVER THE HEAD WITH A BOTTLE OF GIN.
I ASKED THEM WHAT THEY WANTED
AND THIS IS WHAT THEY SAID:
SPANISH DANCER , JUMP SO HIGH.
SPANISH DANCER, DO THE SPLITS.
SPANISH DANCER, DO THE TWIST.
