Eenie meenie ....

That's the way we did it in the playground.
In France, as usual, it's different. It goes like this:
Ams, tram, gram,
Pic et pic et colégram,
Bour et bour et ratatam,
Ams, tram, gram.
And, it sounds like this (an advert for a french lottery - )
Like the eenie meenie version, this french count-out has no meaning and there is disagreement about how to write it, but is thought to have come from ancient German, the ams tram dram being a corruption of old "Ein, zwei, drei"

I knew this rhyme it must be a childhood memory from French lessons or something. It does sound like a counting rhyme though like the sort of thing they use to count sheep
