There sat (insert nameof person jumping ropw) as sweet as a rose,

I sang, I sang, I sang so sweet,

Along came ( insert name of favorite girl or boy depending on whether a boy or girl is jumping at the time) and kissed me on the cheek.

How many kisses did I receive?

The people swining the rope count until the jumper misses.
