  • So I was walking back from the corner store this morning and got a song stuck in my head. It is a kids’ clapping/jumprope/whatever song that some may remember (full lyrics pulled from the net):

    Say, Say oh playmate
    Come out and play with me
    and bring your dollies 3
    climb up my apple tree
    slide down my rain barrel
    into my cellar door
    and we’ll be jolly friends
    forever more – more – more !

    Anyway, for whatever reason, my mind put a rather, erm, adult spin on the lyrics that fits so well that I can’t help but wondering if I’m seeing something that is actually there. Anyone else ever notice anything with the song?

    Xanga’s Currently Playing doesn’t have a listing for what I’m listening to right now, so I’m doing my own version:

  • I thought it was…

    Say, Say oh playmate
    Come out and play with me
    and bring your dollies 3
    climb up my apple tree
    slide down a rainbow
    into my sicamore
    and we’ll be jolly friends
    forever more – more – more !

    … but its been a while, so I might be wrong.

  • *chuckle* hard to say – you know how kids are with lyrics – creative in interpretation to say the least.

  • I heard it a Cee, Cee my play mate.
