Me and my boyfriend were talking about school games we used to play in the playground and he mentioned classics like bulldog and plain old football while i mentioned kiss chase and clapping games

then i tried to teach him 'Cee Cee my playmate' and realised i actually cannot remember the words!

does anyone else remember them at all?

and what was your favorite playground game?

Something like..........
"Susie my playmate,

and bring your dolly's three,
climb up my apple tree,
aint got no (drainpipe?),
aint got no (cellar door?),
but we'll be best of friends, for ever more.....more..more.more.more"
