24 Robbers

At work today a coworker asked for stickers with the words up, down, and ground.  That brought to my mind an old jump roping song.  I couldn't quite remember how it went.  That is no surprise.  There is a lot of things I can't quite remember.  I knew it had something to

do with 24 robbers came knocking at the door. This brings me back to my childhood, the innocent days before arthritis kicked in.  Here is how the old song went:

Not last night

Not last night, but the night before

24 Robbers came knocking at my door

As I ran out (Run out of the jump rope)

They ran in (Run back in the jump rope and start jumping again)

I asked them what they wanted and this is what they said:

Spanish dancer turn around (turn ½ turn each time you jump)

Spanish dancer touch the ground (touch ground once when you are jumping)

Spanish dancer give a high kick (kick in the air once)

Spanish dancer get out before you miss (get out of the jump rope)
