Skipping songs/rhymes

[soulem]

Does anyone remember any of the rhymes and songs they used to sing when skipping as a child??

My daughter has just learnt how to skip properly and asked me for some ryhmes and I must know only 1 line of every song I used to sing! My mind is a blank!

Anyone else remember?
