What about this one, which we did to clapping games:
Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack,
all dressed in black, black, black,
with silver buckles, buckles, buckles
all down her back, back, back
She asked her mother, mother, mother
for fifty cents, cents, cents
to see an elephant, elephant, elephant
jump over the fence, fence, fence
etc.
By the way, I think the Simpsons generation are doing a little of this, because my daughter went through this phase at about 9 at just the age I did.
Of course we used to do the counting-out ones too, definitely a tiger, and definitely there was an odd-even thing as to who you;d end up picking! There were several endings to eenie-meenie-miney-mo, and you could draw it out almost indefinitely if you wanted to pick a certain person.
