Rubin, Rubin, I've Been Thinking
Jumping Rope Song
Rubin, Rubin, I've been thinking:
What's that queer stuff you've been drinking?
Smells like whiskey, looks like wine-
Oh my gosh, it's TURPENTINE.
Leann Slayter sent us the 2nd verse of Rubin, Rubin I've Been Thinking:
Rubin, Rubin I've been thinking
What a grand world it would be,
If the men were all transported
Far beyond the northern sea.
Many thanks to Jim Schessler for contributing this rhyme and to Leann Slayter for the 2nd verse.
