Many include beautiful illustrations, commentary by ordinary people, and links to recordings, videos, and sheet music. She wanted me to change it to something like “Mozart was born it 1756…” she couldn’t rhyme anything further.My 15 month old grand son loves it… when anyone says “fore-eye bender” he quickly points to his forehead and laughs.The way I remembered it from childhood (could have been in Massachusetts, New Hampshire or Ohio) was most similar to nancy’s version – Nov 23, 2010My kids love it. I was born in 1953.Fascinating!
(And I taught a summer camp when I was younger) The first one is Here’s where the kitty sits (while touching the forehead), here’s where he jumps to (touching the nose), eye winker, tom tinker, (touching the eyes) nose blower, mouth eater, chin chopper, giddy, giddy, goo (while tickling the child under his chin).We used to have a great time singing that one at camp.The oldest version in English I’ve found of this rhyme so far is:This is the version my great aunt taught me. Dat is yer shwet boxer, ah momma dear, dats vat I learnt in da school, ya hoo.The semi-english version of the German song my Father and his 7 brothers and sisters sang was a bit different. We would all laugh just trying to keep up with pointing to each body parts although we couldnt remember the words since he sang it so fast. Mostly the same here, except we hadLord Mayor was our version…and while it made a little story, I never could figure out (once I was an adult) what the heck it was all about.
Thanks for helping me clear this up!I remember sitting on my Grandmothers knee and she would start so gently with her finger going over my hair:My little grandchildren loved it too, but I never knew it came fromI have a slightly different version that my dad used to sing when I was a child.
The following are the lyrics I learned:Well, my mama and uncle would not sing it, it was more of the child knowing they’d get tickled underneath the chin and it was fun.. My family’s version isnt very different, but here it is:Eyepeeper (single tap to the eye (usually the kid closes them, lol))At this point the child starts tucking in their chin to kind of block what’s comingHere at this point there is an extended pause, as if trying to let the child relaxWow! Our version did not have a German accent and we called it “Inka Dinka Doo”. The version I learned was sung with a fake German accent – 1950’sI know this is a really old thread but was trying to look up the words and came across it…. "Eye Winker" goes back over a century and a half. Das is my soup strainer, ya mama dear. I look forward to doing it with my grandchildren one day. We enacted a chorus for a school day program. But you are all wrong… just kidding. The names for each area, as I learned them, are as follows. Eye winker In the following, the various parts of the countenance are touched as the lines are repeated; and at the close the chin is struck playfully, that the tongue may be gently bitten.

I was just doing this before changing my 3 month old daughter and wanted to know if there were other verses/how it originated. My mother was from West Virginia and had German, Swiss, and Scotch-Irish ancestors.repeat with actions for each body part eg. Starting with –Thank you so much for all the time and effort here….BRAVO!… the internet….I write & illustrate children’s stories…..some years ago I was totally captivated by my nephew at 4 years ….he would add ‘Nicky Nocky Noo’ on to the end of everything he said…..’i just drank a glass of milk… nicky nocky noo’….’I am going to play outside …nicky nocky noo’….’i am going to bed now…nicky nocky noo’…..etc etc…..I couldn’t work out why?…but at the same time it was also familar to me somehow…..after reading all these absolutely wonderful accounts here…..I am embarrassed to say that my family sang a version of this rhyme to me and my siblings…..I had forgotten the details….but the rhythm of my nephew’s ‘nicky nocky noo’ was firmly programmed into my memory bank……and now thanks to you all I have started to piece together my childhood memory of this sweet little ditty. My mom from Oklahoma did it this way, which I now do in Arkansas:“FIRE” bumper (probably mutated from “fore” bumper)My grandfather had a version of this that has been passed throughout our family. Our other offspring (2 daughters and now a total of four grandchildren) were always content to have it done to them, but not to do it themselves. I’ve been looking for the words to a song my fifth-grade teacher, Esther Freeman, sang to us back in 1945. at last now i can sing it to myself at work, without too many mistakesWe also had a rhyme in my family that I now do with my little ones it goes…Very interesting to see the variations – I thought this one was just in my family too – none of my other mommy friends had heard it or anything like it.The one my father did (and I now do with/to my daughter) was:This is the version I learned from my Irish Grandmother.
“Eye blinker, head-tinker, dinker dinker doo . When I was little he used to love to teach me nursery rhymes, and it was only yesterday morning, quite by coincidence, that I learned how special one of his rhymes really was. She gave me permission to share both of them to help other leaders. Top-notcher, rinky a dinky doo (point index finger up and spin your wrist and finger tip in the air ever time you sing rinky a dinky doo), that’s what I learned in my school. I am afriad it may be lost forever.
