It's a tigger in Glasgow, too.

If it squeals, let it go

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!

Mummy's on the toilet
Out goes you

Is that one common?
