Cinderella (Dressed in Yella) is a famous jump rope rhyme that children have used on playgrounds for decades. While no one knows exactly who wrote it, the song is a "counting rhyme" used to see how many jumps a person can do without missing. Because it is a folk song, children in different neighborhoods often change the words to make up their own funny verses.
Cinderella dressed in yella,
Went upstairs to kiss her fella.
By mistake she kissed a snake,
How many doctors will it take?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, etc.
Cinderella dressed in blue,
Went upstairs to tie her shoe,
By mistake she tied a knot,
How many knots will she make?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, etc.
Cinderella dressed in green,
Went downtown to buy a ring,
By mistake she bought a fake,
How many days before it breaks?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, etc.
The counting continues as long as the jumper does not miss a jump.
