Eenie Meenie Sicilini
Notes Diana Joy Leonard sang this song while growing up. She wrote me 'I was born in 1982 and grew up in NYC. This song replaces 'eenie meenie miney moe' for making 'decisions', i.e. Point to one of the options for each word until you get to the end.' Another New Yorker wrote: '.growing up in NYC, queens to be specific, my sisters and I used to sing this song as a hand clapping game, with the following additional verses.' I saw you last night with your boyfriend How do you know I was peaking through the key hole Nosy I didn't wash the dishes Lazy I didn't wash up Funky I jumped out the window You must be crazy That's why they call me.
Eenie meenie sicileeny, Ooh ah zambalini, Achi cachi Liberache, I love you, Take a peach, Take a plum, Take a stick of bubble gum, Not a peach, Not a plum, Not stick of bubble gum. Amy wrote, 'I am a born and bred Wisconsinite (at age 18 just now), and that was one of my favorite counting-out rhymes. We put our feet in a circle and used that chant (and several others) to choose who would be 'it' for games of tag or hide and seek. However, our version went a bit differently, and I thought you might be interested in seeing it. Eeny, meany, tortellini Beep, bop, bopellini Etchy-sketchy, liver-etchy I like you.
Take a peach, take a plum Take a stick of chewing gum Stick it here, stick it there Stick it in your teacher's hair No more school, no more books No more teachers' dirty looks Yeah.
Eenie meanie Sicilini oo ah come bilini. Achi cachi liberachi, I love you. Take a peach.
Take a stick of bubble gum. No stick of bubble gum.

Saw you with your boyfriend last night. How did you know? Ktm lady logo images. Because I peeked through the keyhole, nosey. And ate a box of candy, because I'm greedy. Time to do the dishes, lazy.
You jumped out the window, now I know you're crazy. Boom I've got your boyfriend.

Time to buckle up, because I'm speedy. Police man on my back, conspiracy. Thought of you in the shower, baby. But someone stole the keys off the jail-cell wall. See me run just to get to you.
Because I'm needy. I know there's a man that's stealing my time from you, But I've got this plan that will make you mine girl. Boom I've got your boyfriend.
