counting rhyme

[Mark_Mandel at DRAGONSYS.COM]

NYC and suburbs, 50's:

     Eeny, meeny, miney, mo,
     Catch a tiger by the toe.
     If he hollers, let him go.
     MY MOther* SAID TO PICK THIS VE-RY ONE
     OUT GOES Y - O - U

* The second syllable of "mother" falls between two beats and doesn't, uh,
"count".
