Our Miss Lucy wasn't quite as long, and piece of glass went right up her ask me no more questions, and our boys were pulling down, not zipping up their flies, but yeah. And I think the sister had an 18-hour bra. I never knew what that meant.
And our bullfrogs said, "eep, op, eep-op-op, skiddle, diddle, ker-PLOP!"
But yeah.
The most complicated of those hand games, though, was "Rockin Robin." There were two, three, and four-person varieties, and all required you remember which direction you had last group-clapped in so you wouldn't mess up the next group-clap, and in between were individual motions...
Swing, swing, swing, to the limousine, hey hey!
She rocks in the treetops all day long hoppin and a' boppin and a'singin her song all the little birdies on Jay Bird Street love to hear the robin go "tweet, tweet, tweet!" Rockin' Robin tweet, tweet-a-leet Rockin' Robin tweet, tweet-a-leet
Mama's in the kitchen, fryin' rice Papa's in the bathroom, shootin' mice brother's in jail, peein' in a pail sister's in a corner eatin' fruit cocktail Rockin' Robin tweet, tweet-a-leet Rockin' Robin tweet, tweet-a-leet
...and so on. I don't remember all the rest. And there was another one about... big macs and milkshakes I don't remember, and "Bobo Ski-wot 'n tot" which I can still do all the hand motions to, because it took me so long to learn them. And "slide" which was just the same motions over and over again repeated as fast as possible once, then each motion twice, then each three times, and on and on as high as you could go.
I'll stop listing them now, but yeah, those were big at my elementary school. Even the boys did them.
