the space goes down, down baby, down, down the roller coaster. sweet, sweet baby, sweet, sweet, don’t let me go. shimmy, shimmy, cocoa pop. shimmy, shimmy, rock. shimmy, shimmy, cocoa pop. shimmy, shimmy, rock. I met a girlfriend - a triscuit. she said, a triscuit - a biscuit. ice cream, soda pop, vanilla on the top. ooh, Shelly’s out, walking down the street, ten times a week. I read it. I said it. I stole my momma’s credit. I’m cool. I’m hot. sock me in the stomach three more times.
-david moscow (josh) and jared rushton (billy) in Big, 1988
Sometimes don’t you wish you were a kid again? Movies like Big always do that to me. Or they make me wish I were a thirty-something year old, with a nice job, one of the best in the world- a toy developer. There are very few things in life that can beat being a toy developer, especially if you get to invent all sorts of creations and newfangled objects.
Sometimes I sit back and imagine, I think everybody should do that once in a while, just sit back and think of all the cool things there are in the world. I notice the little things in life, but usually don’t sit around wondering what things will be like a year from now, 5 years from now, ten… do you?
Sometimes you open your hands, when you wake up from a curled up position on your bed, in the wee hours of the morning, and see all the good things that will happen to you on a horizon, things either in the near distance or almost at the edge, nearly caroming off. It is at those times that you look around and count your blessings. do you?
Sometimes you laugh and just walk down the street with your buddy, singing away at the top of your lungs or as fast as your hands can possibly handle, and sing nonsense. Singing nonsense is the surest way to pass time, and enjoy yourself. Who cares who else’s watching? do you?
Sometimes you look back in time and realize how much you’ve changed, as a result of a million tiny little pieces. I love looking at the cover of James Frey’s “memoir”, A Million Little Pieces, the book that caused all the furor with Oprah. The picture is so good- a million tiny non-pareils all stuck on one single hand, and think about it.. if a single one falls off, the whole thing’s changed, and you might not even notice it. do you?
Sometimes you have to suck it in and continue down the roller coaster, when your neck’s in an impossible position and you can only look forward to things that are yet to come. In college, things change in a rapid blink of the eye, less than two shakes of a lamb’s tail, and they morph, slowly, painstakingly, into something else. Not everyone notices the change. do you?
Sometimes you realize you’ve just said a bunch of things that really don’t make sense, and it’s all right, because you know that you’re cool, you’re hot, and you don’t have to be socked in the stomach three more times.
So sing more nonsense. Open your hands. Count your blessings. Invent newfangled things.

Down, down baby, down by the roller coaster,
Sweet, sweet baby, I’ll never let you go.
Shimmy shimmy cocoa pop, shimmy shimmy pow!
Shimmy shimmy cocoa pop, shimmy shimmy pow!
Gramma, Gram-mama sick in bed,
Call the doctor and the doctor said
Let’s get the motion of the head, ding-dong.
Let’s get the motion of the hands, clap, clap.
Let’s get the motion of the feet, stomp, stomp.
Put it all together and what do you get?
Ding-dong, clap, clap, stomp, stomp.
Say it all backwards and what do you get?
Stomp, stomp, clap, clap….. ding-dong!
This is the version we sang in school in the 1980’s–in a suburban, predominately white area:
Down down baby, down by the rollercoaster
Sweet sweet baby, I don’t wanna let you go
Shimmy shimmy cocoa pop, shimmy shimmy lollipop
I like coffee, I like tea
I like a white boy and he likes me
So step right up and don’t be shy
I’ll tell my boyfriend not to spit in your eye
Not last night but the night before
My boyfriend took me to the candy store
Bought me candy, bought me cake
Brought me home with a tummy ache
Mama, Mama, I feel sick
Call the doctor quick quick quick
Doctor doctor will I die?
Yes you will, now don’t you cry
Close your eyes and count to ten
And if you miss just start again
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
I’m alive again!
I grew up in Inglewood CA…and our version in the 80’s was
