There are several versions of this rhyme and it's chanted in both the US and England.
Charlie Chaplin went to France
To teach the ladies the hula dance
First on the heels, then on the toes,
Around and around and around you go,
Salute the captain and bow to the queen
Touch the bottom of a submarine.

Other versions:
Charlie Chaplin went to France
To teach the ladies how to dance!
First they did the rumba
Then they did the kicks
Then they did the samba
And then they did the splits!

Charlie Chaplin went to France
To teach the ladies how to dance.
First the heel, then the toe,
Then the splits, and around you go!
Salute to the Captain,
Bow to the Queen,
And turn your back on the Nazi submarine!
