0 It is not only used as a jump-rope rhyme. When children play games, they need to determine who go first or who to play a specific role. The rhyme can be said to determine who is going to be excluded until only one is left. There are many different variations and many of them end with "out goes you!"02br

I remember this nonsense rhyme from my childhood in New Orleans:

Icky-bicky soda cracker
Does your papa smoke tobacco?
Yes, my papa chews tobacco.
Icky bicky soda cracker.
