Children's Taunting Rhymes (A-L)

Edited by Azizi Powell

This is Part I of a two part series on English language children's taunting rhymes. Part I features a sample of children's taunting rhymes whose titles (first words) begin with the letters "A"-"L".

Click http://cocojams2.blogspot.com/2014/11/childrens-taunting-rhymes-m-z.html for Part II of this series. Part II features examples of English language children's taunting rhymes whose titles (first words) begin with "M"-"Z". In addition, that post includes a small number of children's retorts (come backs) to taunts.

These examples are posted for folkloric and recreational purposes.

Thanks to all who have contributed these rhyme examples.

cocojams.com was a cultural website that I launched in 2001. For some reason, that website disappeared in October 2014.

EXAMPLES OF CHILDREN'S TAUNTING RHYMES (A-L)
These examples are published in alphabetical order based on their titles or the first few words of their first line. Multiple versions of specific rhymes are presented in chronological order based on their publishing date online or their collection date, with the oldest dated examples presented first.

A number of the exanples in this collection were featured on my cocojams.com cultural website that was online since December 2001. That website vanished late October 2014 [!?!) and I am partially recreating its playground rhymes pages from back-up files and from recent internet "rhyme harvesting". That's the story behind this blog name cocojams2.

"ABC Hit It" rhymes are usually part of the huge "Brickwall Waterfall" family of rhymes.

Structurally, the phrase"ABC Hit It" can be said to be an introductory phrase which (at least theoretically) serves basically the same function as "Ready Set Go".

Notice that the girls chanting this rhyme said "Break a wall" instead of "Brickwall". "Break a wall" is an example of "folk etymology" when a word or phrase is misremembered, or misheard, or is misunderstood, and a more other word or phrase (usually a more familiar word or phrase) is substituted for it.

Here are a few comments about this rhyme:
In my opinion, the lines "ah beep beep/walkin down the street" self-bragging comments about she is so attractive that men honk their car horn when she walks down the street.

The word "ungawa" was created by someone associated with Tarzan movies to mimic traditional African languages. That word, when uttered by Tarzan to speak to the animals, or when uttered by African "natives" in those Tarzan movies could mean just about anything. However, in the 1970s, Black people co-opted the word "ungawa" and used it as an expression of Black power in slogans such as "Ungawa!/Black power! (with the word "power" being pronounced "powa".

African American vernacular sayings are used throughout the "Ah Beep Beep" rhyme. Click http://cocojams2.blogspot.com/2014/10/hand-clap-jump-rope-rhymes-examples-i-j.html to read my comments about some of those sayings in the above mentioned pancocojams post about the movie Big and in my comments about a very similar rhyme entitled "I'll Be". That rhyme was that was published in a 1973 American book on children's rhymes.

The version of "Down Down Baby" ("Shimmy Shimmy Co Co Pa") in the 1988 American movie Big appears to have used "Ah Beep Beep" as its primary source. Click http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2011/12/sources-of-big-movie-rap-shimmy-shimmy.html for comments and videeos about that subject.

AH BEEP BEEP (Version #3)
Hello,

I think your website is awesome. I was looking through it and found a chant that is similar to the one we did on our bus ride home from school.

There would always be a couple of the older kids holding a beat by hitting the seats for a kick drum and tapping the windows for a snare effect. Our version was a little different. The lyrics were as follows:

AAAhhh Beep Beep,
Walking down the street,
Ten times a week,
Ugawa, ugawa,
This is Black Power,
So sweet, so sour.
Soul sister number 9, sock it to me one more time,
Uh, ah, I really needed it,
AAAH beep beep,
Walking down the steet,
10 times a week,

…and it would go on and on til there were no more kids on the bus. I remember this one out of all of them because it was my favorite and I like how it went back into itself to make an infinite chorus.
-Lem B., Raleigh, North Carolina, African American children; 7 or 8 years old (1977, 78-recited during long bus rides across town to attend majority white school); cocojams.com, 11/30/2009
-snip-
In the 1960s "sock it to me" was a popular African American vernacular phrase. That phrase meant "give it to me" (and not "hit me"). While "sock it to me" originally probably had a sexual meaning, Aretha Franklin's use of "sock it to me" in her hit 1967 R&B record "Respect" helped change that phrase's meaning to one that could mean something other than "give me some loving".

AH BEEP BEEP (Version #3)
Here is the version from Brooklyn, New York in the early 70's...the Brownsville version:

Ahh, Beep Beep!
Walking down the street
Ten times a week
Ungawa!
Black Power!
Destroy!
White Boy!
I said it, I meant it
I'm here to represent it
I'm cool, I'm calm
I'm Soul Sister Number Nine
Sock it to me one more time!
Uh-Uh! Good God!

We had so many rhymes like this. Some were very graphic!

Another blogger on that same Mudcat discussion thread posted a very similar example of "Ah Beep Beep" from his meemory of "Chelsea, Manhattan, New York City, NY at PS 33 in 5th grade in the early 70s". In that version the line was "I'm soul brother number nine".

BANG BANG CHOO CHOO TRAIN [Comment]
"Bang Bang Choo Choo Train" is a very popular bragging rhyme which is often combined with other rhymes, especially "Brickwall Waterfall". 

****

BANG BANG CHO CHO TRAIN (Version #1)
Hey I am a 13 year old african american girl. I go to school in japan. there are lots of these kinds of songs.

bang bang chocho train
round me up and Ill do my thang
no recise pices no butter cup
you mess with me Ill mess you up
I know karate I know kong fu
I aint scared of no girl like you.

It goes on and on all races here say them. young and small
-Davonna {Japan}, cocojams.com, 7/16/2006
-snip-
"Bang Bang Choo Choo Train" and a number of other English language taunting playground rhymes have African American origins. It's important to recognize that when Black children or any other child chants taunting rhymes they are acting out a part. This dramatization doesn't depict how these children really are.

Unfortunately, that image of the quick to anger person who verbally taunts, mocks, or challenges his or her adversary and threatens that adversary with physical violence has been labeled "acting ghetto", "acting street", and "acting hood" and have been used to describe all or most Black people. Making those assumptions is pre-judging (prejudice).

BING BAN CHOO CHOO TRAN (Example #2)
bing ban choo choo tran,
girl you think you got it all
but you dont, I do
so whoosh with the attitude.
rock and roll baby,
in control baby,
up and down baby
move it all around.
elbow elbow wrist wrist
shut up girl you just got dissed...
-Paige, cocojams2, 3/6/2007
-snip-
"Whoosh with that attitude" means to quickly get rid of your attitude (or else)

The verse beginning with "rock and roll baby" to "move it all around" is probably a folk processed version of the Caribbean Soca record "Roll It Gal".

"Elbow elbow wrist wrist" originated as the movements that fashion models had to do to wave to people. However, in these taunting rhymes that phrase probably means "preparing to hit someone (wave your fist at someone).

"Dissed" means "insulted". That word is a clip of the word "disrespected".

BANG BANG CHOO CHOO TRAIN (Version #3)
Here's one cheer from Saltillo Mississippi
Bang,Bang choo choo train
come on girls let's do our thing
''No''
Why not
cause my back is aching and my bras to tight
my booty's shaking to the left to the right
see my pinkie see my thumb
see my fist so you better run
this is skinny this is fat
this is me i'm all that
i like coffee

BRICKWALL WATERFALL (Comment)
Probably as a result of its inclusion in the 2003 American comedy movie Dickie Roberts, Former Child Star", Brick wall Waterfall" appears to be one of the most widely known contemporary handclap rhymes in the USA from 2003 to at least the mid 2000s.

This post showcases only a very small sample of this bragging, confrontational playground rhyme.

BRICKWALL WATERFALL (Version #1)
Brick wall waterfall

so shh whith that Additude
Your Mama your daddy

im sorry to be mean

BRICKWALL WATERFALL (Version #2)
Brick Wall Waterfall they think they got it all
they dont we do so boom with that attitude
-deneera; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, collected by Azizi Powell, 2/23/2006
-snip-

"Boom with that attitude" (also given as "poof with that attitude")means that the person being addressed better quickly get rid of her unpleasant and/or disrespectful attitude (toward the chanter). That person's attitude should quickly disappear as it would in an explosion, hence the word "boom". Or, in the case of the word "poof", that person's "attitude" should quickly disappear as in a puff of smoke (as is said to occur in magic tricks).

****

BRICKWALL WATERFALL (Version #3)
When ur talking to me all im thinking is

Brickwall water fall,

You don't so i say
boom wid that attutude
pinch punch captin crucnch
i have something you can't touch
bang,bang cho cho tran
you wind me up i do my thing
no reason piece of 7up
mess wid me i'll mess u up

this is for girls of any years that want to show off
-kenisha; (England), cocojams.com, 3/8/2006
-snip-
I was curious as to how this rhyme had made it to England. Kenisha responded to my email and informed me that she is an African American who is currently living in England. Kenisha said that she knew this rhyme before she moved to England. I wouldn't be surprised if she has taught it to some of her new friends in that country or if some people where she lives now heard her chant this rhyme and then passed it on to others. .

Notice the "Bang Bang Choo Choo Train verse in this version of "Brickwall Waterfall". That verse is found in many "Brickwall Waterfall" rhymes.

****

A-B-C HIT IT! / BRICKWALL WATERFALL (Version #4)
it's called A-B-C Hit It! {and/ or Brickwall Waterfall}. It goes:

A-B-C Hit It! That's the way Uh-Uhh I like it Uh-Uhh.
That's the way Uh-Uhh I like it Uh-Uhh. Brickwall Waterfall
Girl you think you know it all. You don't. I do. So Poof with the Attitude. Peace Punch Captain Crunch. I got something you can't touch.
Bang Bang Cho Cho Train. Wind me up I'll do my thing.
Yummy Yummy 7Up Mess with me I'll beat you up. Wait, Come back.
I think you need a Tic Tac. Not 1 Not 2 But the whole six-pack. I'm not trying to be mean but you need some Listerine. Not a sip not a swallow. But the whole dang bottle.

-snip-
"Don't Make Me Snap My Fingers" demonstrate how children's playground rhymes incorporate body gestures that may be used in everyday life.

"Snapping your finders in a z formation" is an actual contemporary street gesture that might be made when someone does something or says something that offends you. The "z formation" is made by pretending to draw a letter "z" in the air right in front of you (but actually, supposedly right in front of the person or persons you are taunting).. The word "exclamation" in some versions of this taunt is made by pretending to draw an exclamation mark in the air.

In videos that I've seen of this taunt the chanters do the "talk to the hand" gesture by holding their right hand in front of them a little bit below their chest, just like the "stop" gesture is made. However, African Americans who I've seen do this gesture turn their head to the left away from the person they are speaking to, and at the same time, hold their right hand palm up near their face. This gesture means "talk to my hand because I'm through talking to you."

People doing this are supposed to have a stern facial expression or their face is expressionless. Their voice is neither quiet nor loud. Their voice isn't raised because to do so would mean that they have let the person/s they are addressing get next to them (get them angry). Because the way they speak is supposed to match what they are saying, when people say these taunts they aren't supposed to sound cheerful, or whining, or angry. The "performance goal" is to show that you are cool, confident, and completely unruffled by the person or persons who you are addressing. All of this points out how important dramatization is to the performance of playground taunts and other playground cheers. It's just an act, but it's supposed to done in a way that accurately reflects real life.

Remember that snapping your fingers in a z formation and saying these taunts can be considered as a challenge that that could lead to a real argument and/or a fight. It may be okay to pretend that you are a tough girl or boy with your friends, but please be cautious about saying & doing "snap in z formation" in real life situations when someone makes you angry.

Participants in this online discussion were members of various historically Black (African American) Greek letter sororities. Although no dates were given for these rhyme memories, from some comments about just graduating from a university, I'd date these childhood remembrances to the early or mid 1990s.

"Humpty Dumpty Dump" is a variant form of "Yo (Your) Mama Don't Wear No Draws"*. Examples of those rhymes are found in Part II of this series. I believe that those improvisational rhymes help prepare chanters for "the Dozens" insult game.

LOSER LOSER (Version #2)
This is the typical loser, loser rhyme: Loser Loser (Make an L with one hand on the 1st loser, then make another w/the other hand on the 2nd loser)
Double Loser (Bring them together) As if (Tilt the L's up to make a triangle)
Whatever (Twist your wrists to make the two L's into a W)
Get the picture (For "get the" make a picture frame around your head by holding the L's diagonal from each other with your head in the middle. For "picture", do the same thing but the opposite way)
Duh! (Either give them the "talk to the hand" signal or flip your hair back) Hope you like! Sorry it was hard to explain the gestures. You can kinda personalize it to make your own :)
