The innocence of youth, I suppose…I can see now (as an adult) how the rhyme could be offensive, but we just never thought like that as kids. I grew up in a small town in the late 60s and early 70s and it never occurred to any of us that this rhyme might be politically incorrect. –Fifth floor GET OUTTA TOWN! (jumper runs out and takes one end of the rope – without breaking the rhythm – so that girl gets a turn to jump, and so on, and so on, etc.) –Fourth floor TOUCH THE GROUND (jumper touches the ground with fingertips between jumps) –Third floor TURN AROUND (jumper spins while jumping) –Second floor MISS (jumper misses by landing with one foot on each side of the rope) –First floor STOP (jumper stops the rope by landing on it) Ok nowadays the mamas new born baby thing iz mamas havin a baby dad is goin crazy if its a boy ill give it a toy if its a twin ill wrap it up in toillet paper send it down a elevator Third floor – kick it out the door (kick while jumping) Here are the lyrics from the Chicago suburbs in the late 1950s: I was thinking about the “fudge fudge” rhyme recently after seeing a childhood friend, so I googled it. ***doctors, but it was always pronounced “doctars” **kiss a, but it was always pronounced “kissa”
*yellow, but you say it “yella” so that it will rhyme Cinderella Dressed in Yellow – Jump Rope Rhyme with Recording … This is how i learned the fudge fudge song its kind weird though:įudge fudge call the judge mama’s having a baby daddy’s going crazy wrap it up in tissue paper throw it down the elevator first floor stop second floor spin around third floor touch the ground fourth floor get outta town i forgot the rest though Cinderella, by the way, went upstairs to “kiss her fella”…another interesting aside…kids yelled “Allie allie oxen free” or “allie allie in come free”, unless your dad was in the Army…then it was “allie allie infantry!” I think some of these different versions are dependant on region. until you miss or run out…this was how we sang it in Ohio and Indiana. Twins, triplets, boy, girl”…and you repeat the twins etc. It goes:” Fudge, fudge, call the judge! Mama’s had a new born baby! Wrap it up in tissue paper, send it down the elevator. That is hardly polictically correct nowadays and most parents would have a fit and sue whoever taught their child that rhyme. No, I don’t ever recall “Fudge, fudge, call the judge”. I thought Cinderella went to the ball and kissed her fella. I don’t remeber the kissing a snake part of this rhyme but perhaps you are correct. I have a friend whose little grandaughter only recited “Cinderella kissed her fella” My question is did anyone else jump to that terrible rhyme, “Fudge, fudge, call the judge,” about throwing the baby down the elevator? We never gave the lyrics a second thought. You can make up rhymes for the colors Cinderella was dressed in. Or, “Cinderella dressed in pink, went downstairs to wash the sink. Also, “Cinderella dressed in green, went downstairs to eat ice cream.
We know it as “Cinderella dressed in yellow, went downstairs to kiss a fellow. Tweet 32 Responses to “Cinderella Dressed in Yellow – Jump Rope Rhyme with Recording”
