Edited by Azizi Powell
This is Part II of a 2026 two part pancocojams series that presents an alphabetized list of visitor comments that are published in the discussion threads for two 2021 pancocojams posts about "Down By The banks Of The Hanky Panky" recreational rhymes that include commenters' mention of the state they lived when they first chanted that rhyme.
All of these examples are from a ten page Mudcat discussion thread* that I started in 2006 when I was a member of that online international folk music forum.
* https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=94034&messages=454&page=1.
Part II of that 2021 pancocojams series only features examples of those rhymes from commenters in the United States who lived in states whose name begin with "K-Z". However, the discussion thread for that 2021 post includes all of the comments in which commenters mention the name of the state where they lived when they first chanted their example of "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky".
For some reason, the discussion thread for the second post in that 2021 pancocojams series has many more visitor comments than the first 2021 post. As is the case with Part I of that 2021 series, that discussion thread includes example with a geographic reference regardless of the fact that the post's focus is only on states with names beginning with K-Z.

Although I acknowledged each visitor comment, only a few of my comments from the discussion threads for both of these 2021 pancocojams posts are included in this 2026 pancocojams series.
Any new visitor comments to either of these two 2021 pancocojams posts will be added to their 2026 alphabetized list.

"In elementary school in Orange County, California around
2006 we sang:
"Down by the banks of the Hanky Panky
Where the bullfrog jumps from bank to bank-y
Eeps Opps, Soda Pops
He missed a lily and he went ker-plop”
I believe “eeps opps” was sometimes substituted for “he
hops”. I also remember thinking “he missed a lily” was “hey Mr. Willy” and
maybe even hearing some kids say “hey Mr. Willy with a cherry on top” for the
last line.
There was also a second verse that was either sung at my
school or my friend’s school, also in Orange County CA, that had a different
melody where the first and third lines had the same melody as one another and
the second line was almost identical as well, but went down in pitch for the
last 3 words, and then the final line was sang to the same melody as the final
line in the original song (“he missed a lily…”):
“Here comes Noah, walkin’ in the dark
Stepped on a hammer and built the Ark
Here come the animals two by two
Hippopotamus and kangaroo, wooh!” "

If I remember correctly it was super common to make a verse
for it and bring it to school and if everyone liked it, we would adopt it as
the best one. The ask your teacher what she wears section was not made at my
school, but it was a Central Florida (Orlando) chant. We sat in a circle with
palms facing up, one hand on top of a neighbors palm, and one hand palm up
against the back of the other neighbors hand. The hand on top of your neighbors
would get clapped and then your hand would go across your body to clap the
persons hand that was on top of your own. If your hand was clapped on “BOOM”
you were out, if you pulled your hand away and they clapped their own hand,
they were out. The point of the song is to not know ahead of time who is going
to get the BOOM!"

I honestly have forgotten the last part with the sodas, but

That version, #2 in the Missouri section, was "from 1993 or so" and has these words:
"Down by the banks of the hanky panky
where the bullfrogs jump from bank to banky
saying e a-poppa, i a-poppa, o a-poppa, POW"
-snip-
It's interesting that the version you played around 2011-2015 has the same words as the 1993 version.
I looked up Liberty, Missouri and learned that it is a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri. I also read that Kansas City, Missouri is on Missouri's western edge. So it's interesting that that version of "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky" from north Missouri is the same as the one from west Missouri.

Btw, I'm from South Jersey (Atlantic City) and I don't remember this "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky" song or rhyme when I was growing up there in the 1950s to the mid 1960s.
From my informal research, some schools in the USA introduced children to Pete Seeger's "Foolish Frog" version of from 1955 to the 1970s or early 1980s. The "Hanky Panky" children rhyme didn't become widespread in the USA until the mid 1980s.

"Hi Azizi,
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…”
There were tons of nursery rhymes & folklore we had at the YMCA. One that originates in the NY/NJ area as long as 30+ years ago is the clapping game “Bo Bo Ski Watten Tatten”:
“Bo Bo Ski Watten Tatten
Eh eh, eh eh boom boom boom
Bo Bo Ski Watten Tatten
Eh eh, eh eh boom boom boom
Itty bitty Watten Tatten,
Bo Bo Ski Watten Tatten
Bo Bo Ski Watten Tatten
Freeze!” and sometimes there’d be stuff after this.
We also had the “Miss Mary Mack” rhyme, Bloody Mary shenanigans where we’d make someone stand in the bathroom in the dark & sing Bloody Mary to scare them (they did it to me during a thunder storm when all the lights when out!), and “Miss Susie” which was sung the normal way but then had various inappropriate lyrics at the end.
Kids made really vulgar versions of all these at camp lol.
Thanks for making this site & preserving all our rhymes! ❤️

now we're drinking gasoline
gasoline is bad for you,
now we're drinking mountain dew
mountain dew fell off a mountain,
now we're drinking from a fountain
the fountain broke and now we're drinking
plain, old, coke"

"Mine from Washington which is the full version goes like
Down by the banks of the hanky Pankys
Where the bullfrog jumps from bank to bank
Saying eeps ieps ops ups one fell in and went
Ket plop
I pledge allegiance to the flag Justin Bieber makes me gag
seven up I’ve got the flu
now I’m drinking Mountain Dew
Mountain Dew fell of the mountain
Now im drinking from a fountain
Fountain broke
Now I’m drinking plain old coke
There’s a place on mars where the babies shoot your cars
And the men where bikinis
And the women drink martinis
Ever step you take is enough to kill a snake
When the snake is dead you put mustered on its head
When the mustered dried you put diamonds in its eyes
When the diamonds break it is 1968
Mickey Mouse built a house
Donald Duck fixed it up
Mirror mirror on the wall who’s the fairest of the all

Ms. Powell, thanks again for using my video upload to shed some light on the lyrics. I've been wondering about some of these lines for 15 years now! I heard Huddie Ledbetter for the first time when I was 23 and just out of the service. The hair stood up on the back of my neck, and I listened to very little else for about a year.
