Miss Lucy had a baby
"Miss Lucy had a baby...", also known by various other names, is an American schoolyard rhyme. Originally used as a jump-rope chant, it is now more often sung alone or as part of a clapping game. It has many variations, possibly originating from it, or from its predecessors.〔Henninger, Jessie. "(Miss Susie Had a Steamboat: I. Structure )" at ''The Raveled Sleeve''. 29 Nov 2008.

The song is often combined or confused with the similar but cruder "Miss Susie had a steamboat", which uses the same tune and was also used as a jump-rope game.
== Structure ==
As in "Miss Susie", the rhyme is organized by its meter, an accentual verse, in trimeter.〔 Accentual verse allows for set number of accents regardless of the number of syllables in the verse. It is a common form in English folk verse, especially in nursery rhymes and jump-rope rhymes. The song shares much of the same melody as the 1937 "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" used by Warner Bros. as the theme to their ''Looney Tunes'' cartoons.〔Smith, Ronald.
