"Oh I can turn
If you can jump
But when ya miss
Sit on ya rump over therrre
On my doorstep" 😆 I loved this song TO DEATH when I was little. Still do.

[freightzonelogistics]

[freira-hippie]

There is no lyrics of this song on the internet! Incomprehensible!

This is the controversial radio edit removing the third Dutch and the Bus.

[juliushernandezg]

No lyrics for this song in any site?? Can we transcript pls?

[juliushernandezg]

I've tried to decipher the lyrics to this song for years. And I can't find a single site or forum that have published it, so...

After a lot of research and my poor mexican English ear, I was able to come up with the next transcription.

Keep in mind that I've made the best to interpret the correct phrases, considering that it's talking about a rope jumping game in a slang that I have never heard live.

So if you spot any mistake or misheards please be my guest to correct them and fill the [... blanks/guesses ...]

Thanks for your cooperation if you will.


DOUBLE DUTCH
(Frankie Smith single, NOT Double Dutch Bus)

Twenty five, twenty five, twenty five, hey you miss!
Twenty five, twenty five, twenty five, hey you miss!
Twenty five, twenty five, twenty five, hey you miss!

Dancing with the children,
it's got to be a million
playing the Double Dutch

Oooh as long as I remember,

always took the time at the Double Dutch

Give me the rope
But let me show you how I turn

Oh I can turn

but when ya miss
sit on ya rope over there
on my doorstep.

You're gonna turn
I'm gonna miss
I know [...I just smile?]

Nah nah nah nah nah nah!

A Magic Johnson jump shot
A double terrible dump
Take it to the top [...???...]
Everybody jumps!

A Double Dutch

A Double Dutch
It's a dance!

I'm gonna bet ya
You won't even get the five!

She's good! She's good!
She's good! She's good!

Nah nah nah nah nah nah!
Nah nah nah nah nah...!

Give me the rope
Give me the rope
Give me the rope
But let me show you how I've done

Oh I can turn

You're gonna turn

Nah nah nah nah nah nah...!

Oh we're really talking 'bout this children
Oh your children take a long [...what??]

Mommy... daddy...
I want a popsicle! Buy me a popsicle!

Mmmm
Children will be children
when you let them.

They [....do?...] before you know some
but you hear them say:
"I can, I can do it, do it"

Oooh everybody's doing it, and doing it,
and doing it, and doing it,
and doing it, and doing it,
and doing it...


{The next is the most difficult part for me, because it's "pig latin" and I can't understand the altered words, but I'm almost sure the phrase ends with: }


[... ... ... ... ... ...] and my gizzirl!
Izzo kizzay!
My gizzirl!
Izzo kizzay!
My gizzirl!


{The previous guess is attempted from this transcription of the single Double Dutch Bus: }
