    The crude spelling of words as I remember ------

    "Kie-mo nero, delph and sero, kie-mo nero ....
    Tum a rig tum, pop goes a little boat a latchtum, a rigtum a bully midee kie-mo"

    don't laugh - that's as close as I can get - anyone recognize it?

    my mom, recently passed at 92, was trying to remember an old song - she wrote the following;

    Keemo Kymo Daro Ware
    Kang Thang puppy doodle
    suppa beg a penny winkle
    milk in the dairy nine days old
    suppa beg a penny winkle kymo

    Well,

    Kymo keemo kymo kee,
    Way down yonder in a hollow tree,
    With an owl and a bat and a bumble bee,
    Kymo kitchee kitchee ky-me-o.

    is one variant of the chorus to an old, old folksong that goes back to Elizabethan England, "Frog Went A-Courting," or "The Frog's Courtship,"
    or "Sir Frog," or just "Froggy." Here's Chubby Parker's version,
    recorded in the 1920s:

    I did notice the original query was dated 2002! And then that you can't respond to posts by email! Is anyone still reading this list?

    Sounds like what my mother sang to me as a boy. It was the usual Froggy Went a Courtin’ verses, but each line was followed by “Rink tum boddy mitch ee kahm bo,” and the chorus was:

    Kahm a Nero down to Cairo,
    Kahm a Nero Cai-ro
    Straddy laddy laddy
    Bob a laddy bob a link tum.
    Rink tum boddy mitch ee kahm bo.
