Rubin, Rubin, I've Been Thinking
Jim Schessler sent me this song with the note: "In the early 1950's, when I was a very young child, the girls would jump rope to this rhyme…"
Rubin, Rubin, I've Been Thinking
Jump Rope Rhyme
Rubin, Rubin, I've been thinking:
What's that queer stuff you've been drinking?
Smells like whiskey, looks like wine-
Oh my gosh, it's TURPENTINE.
Notes
Leann Slayter sent us the 2nd verse of Rubin, Rubin I've Been Thinking:
Rubin, Rubin I've been thinking
What a grand world it would be,
If the men were all transported
Far beyond the northern sea.
