I was wondering about the origins of this and a couple other kid things that somehow managed to spread far and wide without the internet involved for the past few days, myself. It’s crazy how this kind of stuff likely does not have a concrete starting point that you can say “this nusery rhyme originated from little Billy Sojack, age 6, on the playground of Chester A. Arthur elementary in Small Town, OH.”
I knew they said it in Australia and Canada, though - I don’t know, I guess I just assumed it was a commonwealth thing. It’s got that specific flavour of daftness to it.

I’m surprised they have it in the US!

Yes! The Americans reject some elements of English culture just for being weird.
