This is part of an ongoing pancocojams series on the recreational rhyme "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky". There are LOTS of pancocojams posts about this rhyme.

THE 1955 SOURCE FOR THESE WORDS
Folk singer Pete Seeger's 1955 "Foolish Frog" book and song is the direct source of "Froggy missed the lily pad and went kerplop" and their folk processed versions in "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky" rhymes. 

Here's that portion of that book/song:
"There was a big old bullfrog, hopping from bank to bank. (Sound effects). Well, the bullfrog looked up and saw the farmer and decided to show off. He took an extra special big hop - z-z-z-z-tt! He landed, splash! in the water and got himself all wet."

Click https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NksJ32bjFd4 for a sound file of Pete Seeger's "Foolish Frog".

Pete Seeger's "Foolish Frog" book and song is built on earlier songs, particularly the 1830s or 1840s poem "Minstrels Of The Pasquotank" by James Biddle Shepherd and the composition that is known as "May Irwin's Frog Song" that was written in 1896 by Charles E. Trevathan and recorded in 1907 by vaudeville singer May Irwin.

"I was in elementary school when this thread started. I remember:

Down by the banks of the Hanky-Panky
Where the bullfrogs jump from bank to banky
Where the eeps, ops, soda-pops,
Froggy missed a lilly and he went ker-plop."...

This comment also included portions of two other independently chanted rhymes.

SOME FOLK PROCESSED EXAMPLES OF THESE TYPES OF "HANKY PANKY' RHYMES
This is only a small number of  this type folk processed versions of "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky" of "Frog Missed The Lily Pad" that I've come across.

These examples are given in no particular order.

The online sources (or other sources) and date and place citations are given without their time stamps. I added italics to highlight the folk processed form of  "Froggy missed the lily pad and went kerplop" words.

This is only one type of "Hanky Panky" rhymes that include folk processed words. One other group of folk processed "Hanky Panky" rhymes are those that include the name "Billie Jean" or a folk processed form of that name.  Click https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2014/04/forms-of-name-billie-jean-in-down-by.html for a 2014 pancocojams post entitled "Forms Of The Name "Billie Jean" In "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky" Rhymes"

Here's the examples of rhymes that are featured in this post:

..."I’m from the Lacey/Toms River area of Central Jersey/Jersey Shore and this was the variety we sang at the Toms River YMCA summer camp between 2003-2007 (when I was 7-11). A lot of kids learned it there similar to this, but we had variations there too:

“Down by the banks of the hanky panky
Where the bullfrogs jump from bank to bank
Saying eep, pop, eep, pop pop
Skiddle diddle kernel pop!
I pledge allegiance to the flag
Michael Jackson makes me gag
Coca Cola messed me up
Now I’m drinking 7-Up
7-Up has no caffeine
Now I’m drinking gasoline
Gasoline ran out of fuel (or: gave me the flu) (or: isn’t good for you)
Now I’m drinking Mountain Dew
Mountain Dew fell off the mountain
Now I’m drinking from a fountain
The fountain broken
So now I’m drinking plain old coke”

Sometimes we had a verse in there like:
“7-Up has no caffeine
Now we’re talking jelly beans
Jelly beans are out of style
Now we’ve been talking for a while”

And a verse with Sprite also that I forget.
Also we had little add-ons like counting down and stuff, with clapping I think? “10, 9, 8, 7"

"hello, i'm from utah and wanted to share the variation i learned in girl scouts ! unfortunately i don't know the actual lyrics to the last half of the song, only what it sounds like it was saying, and i haven't been able to find anyone else posting a variation like this online.

"down by the banks of the hanky panky, where the bullfrogs jump from bank to banky, saying ee ee ah ah oh oh oo" is the part i know for sure, then after that it's something like "boom slap-a-dilly with a ba-roo on you" but i dont actually know what it says, that's just what it sounds like."

"This is the version that I remember playing in Denver, Colorado from the 2010s:

Down by the banks of the hanky banky
Where the bullfrogs jump from bank to banky
With a heaps hops, over the tops
And lands on a lilly pad with a kerplops

I pledge allegiance to the flag
that Justin Bieber makes me gag
Coca-Cola has caffeine
and now we're talking Billie Jeans
Billie Jeans went out of style
Now lets sit and talk a while

There's a party round the corner
wont you please, please come
Bring your own cappuccino
and your own chewing gum
What is your boyfriends name
(The person who it landed on would say someone's name)
__ loves __ yadda yadda yadda
__ loves __ yadda yadda yadda
O-U-T spells you are out!

Sometimes we would just do the first part, or just the last part, depending on who we were playing with."

"I learned the version I know as a kid in the early 2000's I think I was in 4th grade so that will be around 2003-2004 in Northwest Louisiana. The version we sang was quite a bit shorter and we would sit in a circle and do a hand slapping game until one person was left.
The lyrics went

Down by the riverfront hanky panky where the bullfrogs say your booties stanky and a hip hop lollipop AEIOU bamboo on YOU."

"The version that I learned as a child (Arizona in the 1980s) were:

Down by banks of the hanky panky
where the bullfrog jumps from bank to banky
With a hip, hip, hip, hop
He jumps from a lilypad --
KERPLOP

 

This was sung, so it was likely taught to us by adults at summer camp.

My friends and I also had variants of the other rhymes, but they were separate"

"I'm from GA, and my most vivid memory of playing this hand game was at girlscout camp in north ga. It was probably sometime around 1993-1995.

Our version was:

Down by the banks of the hanky panky
where the bullfrogs jump from bank to bank
you go eeps iips opes oops
chilly willy ding dong!

Singin' eeps, ipes, opes, ups
Chilly willy ding dong
I pledge allegiance to the flag

 "In a fit of nostalgia tonight this song came back to me. Here's how I learned it in 2004 in Southern California:

 (Two people link hands, then to the rhythm of the song pull their arms back and forth between them.)

 Down by the banks of the hanky panky
Where the bullfrogs jump from bank to banky
And a hips, hops, soda pops
Jumped on the lily and went kerplop.

 

(Now it's just chanting)

I pledge allegiance to the flag
Michael Jackson makes me gag
Coca Cola has caffeine
Now we're talking jelly beans
Jelly beans are out of style
Now we're taking for a while
Charlie Brown is it (whoever the hands were closest to was "it")."

Version #28

Wiki User, 2010

Down by the banks of the hanky panky
Where the bullfrogs jump form bank to banky
With a heeps, hops, soda pops
Hey Mr. Willy and he went kerplops
With a cherry on top
Here comes Noah walking in the dark
steps on a hammer and builds the ark
Here comes the animals two by two
Hippopotamus, kangaroo
Kaboom, on you
Deep in the jungle where nobody knows
There's a big fat gorilla picking his nose
And he picks, picks, flicks, and it lands on you
Kaboom!

Edited by Azizi Powell

This is Part II of a two part pancocojams series about the 1980s/1990s Hip Hop "Wop" dance.

This post presents selected comments from the discussion threads for two of the YouTube videos on the 1980s "Wop" dance that are showcased in Part I of this series.

Click https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2023/12/examples-from-youtube-of-ways-wop-was.html for Part I of this pancocojams series. That post showcases two film clips of 1980s footage of the Wop dance. This post also showcases one instructional video of the Wop and one video performance of this dance by a man who remembers it from the 1980s. 

The Addendum of that post showcases two TikTok compilations that document some ways that the "Wop" is danced in 2023.,,

The content of this post is presented for historical and cultural purposes. I'm particularly interested in documenting the comments that refer to mention of or scenes of people dancing the Wop in 1980s records and in 1980s mass media.

Howcast, Sep 22, 2012  How to Do Hip-Hop Dance Moves

"Okay. So we got the Wop we're working on now. Another dance from a little back in the day, right? So we're going to start, feet apart, knees bent. The Wop, we're going to just get the groove first. The Wop has an up groove, right? So we're going to accent up. Accent up. Just bending my knees but the stronger motion's up. Up, up, up, up.

Tricky thing is you're arms are opposite. So you go down, arms come up. You go up, arms go down. Swing, like you're swinging a baseball bat, kind of. And, and, and, and you get your head in the game. Boom, boom, boom, boom. You can move your feet. You can step. Step, step, step, step over, and back. Back, and over.

That's the Wop. That's the Wop with a partner you can slap hands. There you go with the Wop. Let's try it with some music.

There you go. Wop it out. Wop it out."

Examples From YouTube Of The Ways The WOP Was Danced In The 1980s/1990s (compared to three 2023 TikTok compilation videos) Part I

Latest revision -December 6, 2023

This is Part I of a two part pancocojams series about the 1980s/1990s Hip Hop "Wop" dance.

This post showcases two film clips of 1980s footage of the Wop dance. This post also showcases one instructional video of the Wop and one video performance of this dance by a man who remembers it from the 1980s. 

The Addendum of that post showcases three TikTok compilations that document some ways that the "Wop" is danced in 2023. One of these videos compares the "old" Wop with the "new" Wop.

The titles of two of these TikTok videos reflect how the dance name "Wop" has been changed since 2022 to "Drop It To The Floor" (given as "Drop It To The Floor Then Wop" or  "Drop It To The Floor And Lean"). "Drop it to the floor and lean" is a line in that song.

Since 2022 I've come across a few TikTok compilations and YouTube commenters use the word "Wap" instead of "Wop" for this dance . It wouldn't surprise me if these (I think largely unsuccessful) attempts to change the name of this dance reflect people's awareness and concern about the fact that word "wop" is a pejorative referent for Italians and a desire to distance this dance from that pejorative referent.

Click https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2023/12/memories-of-1980s-wop-dance-other.html  for Part II of this pancocojams series. That post showcases a 1986 video of Hip Hop artist Doug E. Fresh that include scenes of people doing the Wop. That post also presents selected comments from the discussion threads for the two YouTube videos of 1980s "Wop" that are showcased in Part I of this series.

Okay. So we got the Wop we're working on now. Another dance from a little back in the day, right? So we're going to start, feet apart, knees bent. The Wop, we're going to just get the groove first. The Wop has an up groove, right? So we're going to accent up. Accent up. Just bending my knees but the stronger motion's up. Up, up, up, up.

Tricky thing is you're arms are opposite. So you go down, arms come up. You go up, arms go down. Swing, like you're swinging a baseball bat, kind of. And, and, and, and you get your head in the game. Boom, boom, boom, boom. You can move your feet. You can step. Step, step, step, step over, and back. Back, and over.

That's the Wop. That's the Wop with a partner you can slap hands. There you go with the Wop. Let's try it with some music.

There you go. Wop it out. Wop it out.

MY THEORY ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME "WOP" FOR THIS DANCE
Azizi Powell, 2023
I believe that the word "Wop" when it is used as a dance title or verb ("wopping") comes from the syllable "wop" in the African American music genre "doo-wop".

Unfortunately, the word "wop" is also a pejorative referent for Italians.
That may be the reason why the  dance name "WOP" is often capitalized and/or the titles "Wap" or "Drop It To The Floor Then Wop" have been used for a small number of "WOP" video clips in Tik Tok challenge/dance trend compilations (since around 2022).

Stereofame, the publisher of the official 2011 YouTube "WOP" video by J.Dash featuring rapper Flo Rida, wrote in that video's discussion thread in 2012 that "WOP stands for With Out Prejudice. Check out J. Dash's Facebook page. FacebookDOTcom/TheRealJDash"
-end of quote-
I believe that "With Out Prejudice" is an example of a meaning for an abbreviation or word that is made up after the fact. Those types of word or abbreviation meanings are called "backronyms"
Here's some information about from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backronym
" A backronym is an acronym formed from an already existing word by expanding its letters into the words of a phrase. Backronyms may be invented with either serious or humorous intent, or they may be a type of false etymology or folk etymology. The word is a portmanteau of back and acronym.[1]
A normal acronym is a word derived from the initial letters of the words of a phrase,[2] such as radar from "radio detection and ranging".[3] By contrast, a backronym is "an acronym deliberately formed from a phrase whose initial letters spell out a particular word or words, either to create a memorable name or as a fanciful explanation of a word's origin."[1] Many fictional espionage organizations are backronyms, such as SPECTRE (special executive for counterintelligence, terrorism, revenge and extortion) from the James Bond franchise."...
-snip-
I think that J. Dash may have thought a backronym was particularly needed for the dance name "WOP" because of the pejorative meaning of the word "wop".

**** ARTICLE EXCERPTS ABOUT MILEY CYRUS' WOP VIDEO These excerpts are given in no particular order and are numbered for referencing purposes only. EXCERPT #1 From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wop_(song) " "Wop" (stylized in all caps) is a song by J. Dash featuring pop rapper Flo Rida. First recorded in 2007, it was released in 2011 to serve as the lead single for J. Dash's album Tabloid Truth, released in 2012.

"Wop" was initially posted on J. Dash's YouTube channel in 2007; however, as the song began to go viral through user-posted videos of people performing its associated dance routine, he pulled the song and began work on a revised version to be released as a single,[3] followed by an official music video featuring fellow rapper Flo Rida in January 2011. The song would chart near the bottom of Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs...

The song would re-emerge to mainstream exposure on March 20, 2013, when Miley Cyrus posted a video on Facebook which featured her twerking to "Wop" while wearing a unicorn onesie. While Cyrus had previously shared her fondness for the song with J. Dash and suggested that they make a video together, these plans never came to fruition. J. Dash was initially unaware of the video's creation, but would learn of the video from his personal friends and Cyrus herself while he was sick in bed with a stomach virus. He declared the video to be the moment that twerking became a mainstream phenomenon, and jokingly suggested that he and Cyrus should get matching unicorn tattoos.[1][5]

Miley Cyrus's "Wop" video would also go viral; by April 9, 2013, copies of the video had amassed over 4 million views on YouTube. In response to the influence of viral videos on the popularity of songs such as "Call Me Maybe" and "Gangnam Style", Billboard had added YouTube views as a factor to its Hot 100 chart in February 2013.[5][6] This resulted in "Wop" ascending the chart following the release of the Miley Cyrus video; it entered at #82, and rose to #52 the following week.[5] "Wop", along with "Don't Drop That Thun Thun"—a song popularized by another twerking video posted on Vine in July 2013, were cited as an example of how viral and user-created videos can bring renewed interest to songs."... **** EXCERPT #2 From https://abcnews.go.com/ABC_Univision/Entertainment/wop-miley-cyrus-demonstrates/story?id=18807937 "How to Do the Wop? Miley Cyrus Demonstrates How do you WOP? We'll show you." By ABC News, March 25, 2013 …."Like most things that take off online, the wop isn't a new move. (It's also not be confused with "wop," which is not a nice word at all.)* The move is currently experiencing a resurgence thanks to a video posted by Miley Cyrus featuring the pop singer dancing to J. Dash's song, "WOP," while dressed in a unicorn onesie. Like you do. And even though "WOP" was released back in 2010, the dance itself has been around since the '80s….

Although HyperVocal is quick to point out that, despite the fact that Miley's video has been titled "Twerking 'WOP' [Original]," she is NOT twerking. Her dance does include some elements of twerkitude, particularly around 0:38. It would be best described, then, as "some wopping, with touches of twerk." Twerking, for the woefully uninitiated, is a move that involves moving one's backside up and down rhythmically, with feeling and conviction…..

J. Dash's song provides some helpful instructions on how to perform his special, updated twist on the wop:

"Ladies take it back throw it back to the front /Bend yo' waist look to the front / Now BOUNCE yo body to the beat just a little bit harder (harder) /Shawty move yo feet just a little bit harder (harder)"

Sounds easy enough. The song makes the fairly simple dance even more interesting by adding some extra moves, like "drop, drop it to the floor," "wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle," and "make money," which consists of touching one's toes and shaking one's butt up and down as people shower your writhing body with dollar bills.

Of course, there's no use talking about a dance without the use of visual aids. Luckily, the internet has plenty. There's The Official White Girl WOP (extra points for coordinating outfits), "best white girl wop," "White Girls Do the Wop" (Notice a theme?), "The Wop dance," "WOP-BRIT N JACKIE," "How to Do the Wop Dance," "How to Do the Wop | Hip Hop Dance Moves" and many, many more.”… **** SELECTED COMMENTS FROM THE DISCUSSION THREAD FOR THIS EMBEDDED VIDEO

Many children looked up to you and adored you. Many will follow suit once they see your fall, but they might also change if they see you return to being a proper young lady."
