Think
“SUSIE’S got a BOY FRIEND!”
or
“I know what you’re THINK-ING!”
or
“I see Mary’s UNderPANTS!”
It's always
something sarcastic or downright nasty. 
What I want to know – does the phrase have a name, something I could
look up on Google?  I’ll bet one could
look up “Shave and a Hair Cut – Two Bits” for instance. 
Something like that?  And I want
to Google because I’m wondering how old it is  (Amy guesses it’s medieval).  And does it mean the same thing in Russia Kenya 
Any
help with this important problem will be appreciated.
 
its a waltz. long, short short, (pick up) long long. nyah nyah best describes it though really. a taunt.
ReplyDeleteNope, not a waltz.
ReplyDeleteshort short short short long long
4 beats
"You're a dirty robber" is one I remember.
ReplyDeletemust be even older than mediaeval.
ReplyDeleteNot only can I not read music, I can't even read your musical notes above--but I do know the melody you're describing, and, yes, it is a taunt in every version I've ever heard. "We know what you're doing" is the main one I recall.
ReplyDeleteAnd I was meaning to say something about the "Oh, joy, it's a boy/Daddy's nearly crazy" rhyme before. Because I was a third girl who was supposed to be a second boy, this one hits home.
