JUMP ROPE RHYME

NOT LAST NIGHT BUT THE NIGHT BEFORE, 48 ROBBERS CAME
KNOCKING AT MY DOOR. AS I WENT OUT TO LET THEM IN, THEY HIT
ME IN THE HEAD WITH A ROLLING PIN AND THIS IS WHAT THEY SAID:
SPANISH DANCERS TURN AROUND, TURN AROUND
SPANISH DANCERS TOUCH THE GROUND, TOUCH THE GROUND.
SPANISH DANCERS GET OUT OF TOWN.
