It's a tigger in Glasgow, too.

If it squeals, let it go
Eeny, meeny miny mo.

I daren't even say the version that was popular when I was a child. It was racist.

That's why I'm asking mummydoit, I didn't think we still caught black people by their toes and waited for them to wriggle!

I don't know what they use these days - everytime I hear it though I always have to stop myself from saying the racist one as it was what I must have said a 1000 times when I was little

What other verses get used for this purpose in your kids' school?
We have:

Ip dip doo
Cat's got flu
Mummy's on the toilet
Out goes you

Is that one common?
