Jump Rope Rhymes
Rhymes by category
This collection of jump rope rhymes has grown so large that it has become nessary to seperate them into categories. There are may rhymes which are difficult to categorise and these are in other jump rope rhymes. This is possibly one of the lager collections of jump rope rhymes
on the web. I am in the process of reorganising this page
to make it easier to find old songs, learn new ones and print
out the collection.

cowboy joe from mexico hands up stick them up drop your guns and pick them up and out you go - Sat Mar 11 2006
I think this is an awesome site. I also like the one with the red car in it. If it's the same one that I'm thinking of, I belive it has the line in it - Policeman caught me and put me in jail. All I had was gingerale. How many gallons did I drink (this is the last line). Then you count until the person goes out. There is also the rhyme - Cowboy Joe from Mexico. Hands up (you put your hands up), stick'em up (put both hands like a gun), don't forget to pick'em up, cowboy Joe. Same rhyme can be done subsituting cowgirl Sue from Ten Buck Two. I also believe that Spanish Dancer's starts off with - not last night, but the night before, 24 robbers came knocking on my door. I asked them what they wanted and this is what they said "Spanish dancer's do the splits, splits (do like a V), Spanish Dancers turn around, around (turn around while still jumping). Spanish Dancers touch the ground, ground (bend down and touch the ground, while still jumping). Spanish Dancers get out of this T O W N town. Then you jump out while rope still turning. - Mon Mar 20 2006

This really goes back to my childhood. I recognize many of them and I am sure the various versions are pertinent to the area you are from. Ducky, Ducky Dancer, do the splits. Ducky, Ducky Dancer, give a hard kick. Ducky, Ducky Dancer, show your shoe. Ducky, Ducky Dancer, Skidoo, Skidoo. - Tue Mar 28 2006
