▶ Watch the Mini-Documentary
According to Pancocojams, . folkstreamer, Uploaded on Aug 3, 2006 A 1967 film by Bob Eberlein and Bess Lomax Hawes that looks at continuity and change in girls’ playground games at a Los Angeles school -snip- This clip shows only a very small portion of the “A Biscuit” rhyme [the first game shown] as well clips of other singing games. However, the film documents that a rhyme with an “a biscuit” refrain was performed as a circle game in 1967. Here’s my transcription of that “A Biscuit” rhyme which I think is part of an “I Have A Boyfriend” rhyme: “Dum de dum Dum de dum A biscuit Dum de dum Dum de dum A biscuit Ooh she she wah wah a biscuit”… In contrast to the circle formation that the girls in this video use for this rhyme, the “I Have A Boyfriend” rhymes that are found in this pancocojams post were probably chanted two girls stood or sat facing each other and performed partner hand clapping routines. **** Edit
