In that comment I indicated that I jumped to that conclusion because some lyrics to that song are found in songs that have definitely been attributed to Black people.(ie.

Lyrics Depot is your source of lyrics to Hooka Tooka by Chubby Checker. That's what she told her The answer to my question Clap your hand (Told me)
Or are you assuming that when she says the bordellos of Chicago were all black women at the time (who knows the time, the song is old as heck) racist much?
Nor does it mean that this song was always sung for that reason.

"...-snip-If I were writing this post now I would add those lyrics given above by Duke Wilson (with a note that "Hooka Duka" may be a typo).
If I were re-writing the first sentence to this post, I would change that sentence to read that those two vocalists currently appear to be most often associated with the song "Hooka Tooka".
Is it yes or is it no, Does your chewing gum lose its flavour I heard it as "ooka dooka" but "hooka tooka" works just as well.

Lyrics to 'The Clapping Song' by Cher Lloyd. Not just black girls, girls of all colors.
Thanks for your comments, J.C. Kelly.With regard to your first comment - Yes. Hello,I agree with Azizi, it's doubtful the song was originally linked with the "prostitute" story.
Everybody yup. Probably these children heard this song passed down through generations and just used it as a rump rope song while forced to play outside the house while Mama was doing her thing inside.

That sounds to me like a myth, and if they said it was black girls, a racist myth to boot. Henske beat Chubby Checker to the market with "Hooka Tooka" (the actual title on both records).
My aunty told her I kissed a soldier According to the March 30, 1963 issue of Billboard, her first LP "Miss Judy Henske" was set to be "released shortly." The line broke, the monkey got choked PLEASE!
As for where Henske got the story from, she is happily still with us, so perhaps someone could ask her? Does your chewing gum lose its flavour On the bedpost overnight If your mother says don't chew it Do you swallow it in spite Can you catch it on your tonsils Can you heave it left and right Does your chewing gum lose its flavour On the bedpost overnight. Does your momma chaw tobacca The song became a hit the second time around because it caught the attention of society types.
Clap pat, clap your hand Congratulations on writing one of the worst music articles I have ever read.
Okay, so you have zero experience with folk music, anything that has been passed down as folk music, things people list as "traditional" (that's a big one) or basically anything about the whole genre? My aunty told her, I should act older
She arranged the song, added portions of "Prominade in Green" (since you did NO research on this piece, I will let you know that is a completely different folk song), and made a bitchen song, with a bitchen story. The monkey chew tobacco on the streetcar line Songs like this get passed around, and the people who compile or record them talk to all sorts of people. To send their only son The Clapping Song Lyrics.
If ya momma chaw tobacca, say Anyone interested in more jump rope rhymes can find over 600 in A Dictionary of Jump Rope Rhymes by Roger Abrahams, American Folklore Society, published by University of Texas Press. Clap, take your hand back Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language: Hooka Tooka my soda cracker
Cross your right arm with your left arm Does your momma chaw tobacca That she would buy me a rubber dolly It would be interesting to find out where she got the story from. Cross your right arm with your left arm Slap your thigh and sing a little song (Can you believe it? No reason why the singer or her source couldn't have got the story from a prostitute who was part of that scene. Just to clarify, "Hooka Tooka" might have been a B-side, but it was a good sized chart hit. Worst music article I ever read filled with racism. Can you catch it on your tonsils If you love me like you say you do Absolute garbage, this is another propaganda piece to paint Foundational Black Americans in a bad light. If I was goody And watch the fun materialize Does your mother chew tobacco, hooka duka soda cracker. And it's such a pretty thing Good write-up.

No I'm not kidding That she would buy me a rubber dolly (Clap, clap, clap, clap, [unverified]). Thursday, Friday, Sat'day night, [Man:] That's what she told her3, 6, 9
Excuse my butting in on a five-year-old discussion, but I've just found this piece when I was looking for background on the song. That said, although I've done no research to test this theory, I still believe that when most people besides me read that theory about Hooka Tooka Soda Cracker, they think that theory refers to Black children/Black prostitutes.
