Dear friend Lon,... waaaay back when I was a very little kid playing hide and seek, we sang 'Olly Olly Umphenfree' ... I had no idea what it meant, just that everyone got to come 'home' from their hiding spots and I would still be 'it' for the next game.
'All thee, All thee.." actually has a meaning and sounds MUCH classier - I like it!
