Were "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky" Rhymes Chanted In The United States & Elsewhere After 2015 And Are They Still Being Chanted In 2026?

by Azizi Powell, Pancocojams Editor

Since 2006 I've collected a lot of online examples of "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky" (with that title or with similar titles) and I've showcased many of those examples in various pancocojams posts.

In addition, a number of readers of those pancocojams posts have shared their examples of the "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky" rhymes in the comment sections of those posts. The links to two of those pancocojams posts are given in the Addendum to this post.

Most if not all of the examples of "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky" that I've come across are from the early 2000s to around 2015. 

For the folkloric record, I'm interested in answering the questions "Were "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky" rhymes chanted in the United States & elsewhere after 2015 and are they still being chanted in 2026?

Please share examples of and information about "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky" that were chanted since 2015 in this pancocojams post's comment section.

I'm interested in documenting the words to those rhymes and I'm also interested in documenting demographic information about those rhymes.

By "demographic information" I mean
- when (year that those rhymes were last chanted)

-where (city/state (or nation if outside of the USA

and

-who (race/ethnicity, ages, and genders of people chanting this example),


I'm also interested in documenting how these rhymes were performed (for instance, if that rhyme is/was chanted while doing a partner hand clap routine or a group elimination hand slap routine.


Please add to the folkloric record by sharing the example of "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky" that you chanted between 2015 and/or in 2026 in the comment section of this pancocojams post.

Please remember to include your demographic information with the words for that rhyme.

Thanks!
