    This one was a clapping game rhyme.

    Miss Mary Mac Mac Mac

    All dressed in black black black

    With silver buttons buttons buttons

    All down her back back back

    There was more, something about her house and pushing someone down stairs I think but I can’t remember.

        Ah. You’re from the post-Simpsons generation. Prior to the Simpsons writers popularising the egg line, the most common version had “Robin flew away”.

        Where I am, the next lines usually had Batman losing his underpants in a location that rhymed with “(a)way”, most often a motorway.

    Jingle bells Jingle bells, Santa Claus is dead // GI Joe the Eskimo shot him in the head.

    Row row row your boat, gently down the stream // Throw your teacher overboard and listen to her scream.

    Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the school // We have tortured every teacher and we’ve broken every rule.

    Chinese, Japanese, Dirty knees, Look at these.

    Saßen zwei Gestalten

    auf dem Donnerbalken

    und sie schrien

    nach Klopapier

    Klopapier …

    Und dann kam der Dritte

    Setzt sich in die Mitte

    Und sie schrien

    nach Klopapier

    Klopapier … (this continues counting till ten. It’s about an old fashioned wooden many-seated outhouse without toiletpaper which breaks down in the end. It’s one of two songs about poop my dad taught us, which briefly made my brother and me the rockstars of the playground. Poop!)
