Open forum question: What was your favorite childhood rhyme?

My mom and I were reminiscing about jump rope rhymes and clapping games. This is what I eventually remembered:

Miss Susie had a steamboat
The steamboat had a bell (ding, ding)

My mom continued to the point of remembering something about kicking babies and a bucket.

She asked me why she was kicking babies.

I failed to give a satisfactory answer because I was trying to figure out why I was thinking about elephants and buttons.
