YOU WERE A KID ONCE, RIGHT? Do you remember where this comes from?

I'm not going to google it, because I want to ask you first.

I have this jingle in my head. This childhood ryhme. I'm almost certain it comes from a clapping game I played in primary school, but I'm not 100% on it and it could be a skipping or an elastics song.

The parts of the song I DO remember go something like this:

Down, down, baby
down, down the rollercoaster
sweet, sweet, baby
I'll never let you go.
Shimmy, shimmy cocopops
Shimmy, shimmy, POW!
Shimmy, shimmy cocopops
Shimmy, shimmy, POW!
Grandma, Grandma, sick in bed
She called the doctor
And the doctor said:
"Let's get the rhythm of the head"
Ding-dong!
"Let's get the rhythm of the hands"
*clap-clap*
"Let's get the rhythm of the feet"
*stomp-stomp*
"Let's get the rhythm of the (for some reason my head is telling me it's hiiiiiigh song, but it could be hiiiiiiip bones)"
Put it all together and what do you get?
Ding-dong
*clap-clap*
*stomp-stomp*
(hiiiiiiiii-whatever)
Put it all backwards and what do you get?
(hiiiiiiiii-whatever)
*stomp-stomp*
*clap-clap*
Ding-dong!

And that's it.

What the hell is it from and how does it start? I get the feeling the part I remember is around the middle somewhere.

wants, epic flail of doom, emoting: oh dear god someone stop me
