CAN ´T REMEMBER THE WORDS SUNG IN THE BALL GAME
 
Hi !

I grew up in London, Ontario. When I was young, we used to play with two tennis balls a juggling game. We bounced the balls on the wall, juggled them with one hand and so on. One part I think was something like "under over Hullabaloo (or Balubalu.. can �t remember) " Is there anyone who played this game when they were young? If you do remember please could you post the lyrics of the games song? Thank you so much!

I �m from Toronto and I think I´m a lot older than you ( if that is your picture) but we used to put a tennis ball into a nylon stocking and hit it against a wall.  We used to sing;
 
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea,
To see what he could see, see,see,
And all that he could see, see, see,
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea.

Here �s what she is looking for I think:

Billy Baloo-- This is where you chant, "Under Billy Baloo, under Billy Baloo, one, two three, four, five Billy Baloo. Using two hands you alternately throw the balls against the wall in a juggling fashion. Then you go over, upsy, downsy, under one leg, under the other leg, bouncey, then when you finish all of this successfully in order, you get to try it with three balls.

There was another I remember - 
Mary had a telephone
Her telephone had a crack
If you call the operator
I �ll kick you in the backkkk
Ask me no more questions
I �ll tell you no more lies ...
 
God, I �m old!!!!!
