She's going to Kentucky
She's going to the fair
I'm going to meet a pretty senorita with a flower in her hair
Shake it senorita
Shake fast as you can
Shake it like a milkshake
And do the best you can
She wobbled to the bottom
She wobbled to the top
She turned around and turned around
Until she yelled
S-T-O-P STOP!

Then the one player would shout out a color, and we would spell that eeny-meeni-miney-moe fashion to pick who went first.

This was in a Catholic elementary school in the midwest in the early 70s.

Yes! I remember that one too (also from the Midwest 70s/80s). And also this one:

I’m 52. I learned that at summer camp when I was about 6, came home and sang the whole thing to my older sister who promptly held “I’ll tell Mom you said hell” over my head for months.

Me again, hit submit too soon. I learned it as Miss Lucy, not Miss Susie. In DC.

I am a pretty little Dutch Girl
As pretty as can be
And all the boys in the neighborhood
Are crazy over me
My boyfriend's name is Mello
He comes from the land of Jello
With pickles for his toes and a cherry for his nose
That's the way my story goes

My boyfriend gave me an apple

My boyfriend gave me a pear

My boyfriend gave me a kiss on the lips and he threw me down the stairs

I gave him back his apple

I gave him back his pear

I gave him back his kiss on the lips and I threw him down the stairs

I threw him over London

I threw him over France

I threw him over the football pitch and he lost his underpants

His underpants were yellow

His underpants were green

His underpants were black and white and smelled like rotten cheese
