Retsy Series 1 · Card 0508 · 90-MEM
Jelly elbow, peanut knee, nobody claps as fast as me.
A fast hand-clapping rhyme with elbow bumps and knee slaps that sped up until someone messed up.
The story · 1993
Two kids faced each other and started slow: clap, clap, elbow, knee. Each verse got faster until hands blurred and somebody slapped their own forehead by mistake. The rhyme had nine verses, but nobody ever made it past seven. Little siblings practiced it in the bathtub for weeks.
The secret eighth verse supposedly involved a backwards spin, and only fifth graders were allowed to know it.
