"Minnie Caldwell, baby one, baby two, baby three..."

This morning at breakfast, I had a Proustian moment when the above skipping chant came suddenly into my head, bringing with it a flood of memories of my school playground in the mid-1960s.
Does anyone else remember it? Did it mean anything?
Can one hear skipping rhymes in playgrounds these days or are they a thing of the past?
Anyone else have a skipping rhyme that has stayed with them?

'The Clapping Song' by Shirley Ellis is still popular according to my primary school teacher girlfriend.
I find this a cause for celebration!
I agree
I've always loved that song. I don't remember it being used as a skipping song in my playground though. Good to hear it is now.
