CHILDREN'S CHEERLEADER CHEERS
This page contains examples of children’s school & community cheerleader cheers. Multiple versions of the various cheers are featured on this page. Cocojams features multiple versions of cheers & rhymes for the purpose of folkloric research and just because it's fun to see how the words of children's cheers & rhymes might change over time and/or among different populations at the same time. I don't believe that there are any correct or incorrect versions of children's cheers or children's rhymes. Some versions may adhere more closely to the earliest known version of a rhyme or the version that is most often used or most often printed offline or online. But that doesn't mean that other versions are wrong.
Brief editorial comments from the example's contributor and/or from me (this site's editor) may be included below the featured example. Examples of rhymes & cheers are almost always are posed on Cocojams the same way that readers send them to this website. Posting examples written this way may result in difficulty understanding the examples. However, I believe that posting examples in their original form preserves the examples’ flavor & authenticity. I apologize to those persons who may have difficulty understanding these examples.

Editor:
When Lily wrote "bring it on", she was referring to a hit 2000 American movie about high school cheerleaders. See
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0204946/ for information & photos about the movie Bring It On. Also see "Totally For Sure" cheers below on this page for examples of another cheer that came from the 2006 sequel to that movie, Bring It On: All Or Nothing.

ACE IN YOUR FACE
Here's a volleyball chants that we used to taunt the other team:

Editor:
As a reminder, I asked that persons contributing examples of cheers/rhymes include racial/ethnic demographics and other demographics for the purpose of folkloric research. Contributors do not need to include this information. However, I appreciate it when they do. When I know this information, I'll include demographical information with those examples that I post on Cocojams from my direct (face to face) or indirect collection efforts.

ALLIGATOR, CROCODILE (Version #2)
I really like alligator crocodile. So here is my cheer (a another edtion to it).
alligator crocodile let's get crunk for a while ooh get crunk ooh get crunk lemon lime tootie fruity come'on girls let's kick some booty.
-lala; 2/9/2007
Editor:
"Crunk" is a newly coined slang word that may have been formed by combining the words "crazy" & "funk". Crunk has a number of meanings. Among those meanings is "to have a really good time" and "to use a lot of energy or to be on high level, as in high volume for music. In the context of this rhyme, I believe that "let's get crunk" is like saying "let's get hyped"; "let's get excited" and "let's get energized".

A PANTHER
A panther yeah yeah a panther say what my name is Olivia and they call me Ollie yeah and Im going to show you what this panther can do first you shake it dont break it then you roll it control it then you pop it dont stop it sit down sit down say what sit down
-olivia; 9/16/2006
Editor:
"A Panther" sounds very much like the cheer "A Bulldog". See examples of "A Bulldog" on Cocojams' Foot Stomping Cheers page. My guess is that "Panther" and "Bulldog" are the names of the school's sports teams.

AS WE WALK TO THE VALLEY OF HERSHEY
As we walk to the valley of Hershey
with the smell of chocolate in the air
The only thing sweeter than candy
is me and my girls here.
All the people around us are haters.
Except for the fans of the Panthers.
The only thing I wanna tell you.
Is don't hate on the Panthers
cause you know you wanna a kiss
-Ebonaye,10 years old (Pittsburgh, PA); 5/9/2008
Editor:
Ebonaye did a stomp stomp clap, stomp stomp clap foot stomping routine while she recited this cheer. At the end of the last line, on the word "kiss", she stuck out her butt to the side and patted it, emphasizing what people should do if they dared to "hate on" her team. I have heard the first line of this cheer given as "Welcome to the Valley of Hershey". (Presumably, "Hershey" is the city in Pennsylvania that is known for its production of chocolate candies). I have also heard the team mentioned in the "except for the fans of the" line given as "the Gators", a community football team. "The Panthers" is the name of the athletic team in the school that Ebonaye attends. Given that the words "haters" and "Gators" rhyme, I believe that students at Ebonaye's school probably got this cheer from the Gators' cheerleading squad.

BANG BANG CHOO CHOO TRAIN
"Bang Bang Choo Choo Train" is a very popular children's rhyme and cheer. "Standard" verses of "Bang Bang Choo Choo Train" are also found in another very widely known rhyme/cheer "Brick Wall Water Fall".
Note as of 12/21/2007: Because so many versions of this cheer have already been posted, I won't be featuring any more versions of "Bang Bang Choo Choo Train" unless they are considerably different from the other versions that have already been posted.

BANG BANG CHOO CHOO TRAIN (Version #1)
Bang bang choo choo train come on Angles do your thang get it, get it, get, get it, get it got it, got it, got, got it, got it boom now let it roll (clap clap, clap clap clap) boom now let it roll (clap clap, clap clap clap)
-Princess R.; 5/4/2006
Here's a comment from Princess R:
I'm the new cheer coach for the Holy Savior cheerleading team out in Wichita Kansas I just needed to shout out my girls and let all know that we can do our thang out here too always have and always will. It feels good to be able to cheer at the only African American Catholic Pre-K 3 through 8th grade school from the 4th grade to the 8th and now be the coach as a tenth grade. When you use our cheers use them with attitude. Hope you enjoy our cheers and chants don't forget to replace your school, cheer team, or mascot name with the Angels and Holy Savior. Here are some of our favorites.
Editor:
Thanks for sending in those cheers, Princess R. I really like your comment "When you use our cheers, use them with attitude". It's important for people to know that dramatization is very much a part of saying cheers and rhymes.
I've posted the other examples that Princess shared under the specific alphabetical listing for the first letter of that rhyme.
Lines from "Bang Bang Choo ChooTrain" are also found in other cheers and handclap rhymes , especially in "Brick Wall Water Fall". It should be noted that I saw this cheer performed in 1997 by African American girls in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. This was before this cheer was performed in one of the Bring It On movies by a predominately African American cheerleader squad.

CHOO CHOO TRAIN (Version #2 of Bang Bang Choo Choo Train)
this cheer is named choo choo train:(group) bang bang choo choo train come on girls lets do our thing! (responce)I cant because my backs broken and my skirts too tight my hips are swai'n from the left to the right. (all) go eagles
-kelly; 8/15/2006
Editor:
In spite of its slightly different name, this version is clearly part of the "Bang Bang Choo Choo Train" family of cheers. The "group"/"response"/"all" directions suggest that this cheer is performed the same as {or very much like} the foot stomping rhymes that are found on Cocojams' Foot Stomping Cheers page.
Btw, I believe that "swai'n" means "swaying" . And "swaying" is another way of
saying "moving in a sensuous manner".

-karley; 4/20/2007
Editor:
http://www.cheerleadingcoachescorner.com/jump_and_tumble_definitions.htm indicates that a "herkey" {"herkie" or "hurkie"} is "A jump where your weak leg is bent towards the floor and your strong leg is out to the side as high as it will go. Some call it a hurkie. Done like a toe touch, but one leg comes up and the other bends with the knee facing the ground. Named after Cheerleading legend Lawrence "Herkie" Herkimer".

That website also has drawings & definitions of that jump and other cheerleaders' movements. Also, click here to see a photo of a herky:

-katrina ; 6/1/2007
Editor:
The word "sick" that katrina wrote after "peanut butter reeses cup" could be the word "sike" (which rhymes with "bike"). "Sike" is a slang word that rhymes with "like" and means "I don't really mean what I just said".

BOOM CHICK A BOOM
[this is a repeat chant; line by line]

Cowboy,etc) style!
-Amanda, age 17 years (Tulsa; Oklahoma)
Editor:
Strictly speaking, "Boom Chica Boom" isn't a cheerleader cheer. But it might be chanted during sports games or at other times. I've heard "Boom Chica Boom" performed as a call & response song in Pittsburgh, PA . Those children didn't use "valley" or "cowboy" voices for that rhyme. But they did loud and fast version of this song, and I also remember them singing it in an "underwater" voice.
Visit Cocojams' Foot Stomping Cheers page for a version of "Boom Chica Boom". Also, see lines from this cheer in Example # 15 of "Brickwall Waterfall" below.

BRICK WALL WATER FALL
"Brick Wall Water Fall" is a very widely known * schoolyard taunting rhyme which has also been used as a cheer. Additional examples of Brick Wall Water Fall are found on Cocojams' School Yard Taunting Rhymes page: http://www.cocojams.com/content/schoolyard-taunts
Examples of "Brick Wall Water Fall" that have been sent to Cocojams or which I have collected from other sources (including this discussion thread that I started on Mudcat Discussion Forum: http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=100061 "Water
Wallflower & Brickwall Waterfall") are posted on this cheerleader page if the contributor mentioned that it was used as a cheerleader cheer or if the cheer mentions athletic sports, and/or sports teams.
* Most of the rhymes & cheers that I collect from my direct experiences are from the East Liberty/Garfield area of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (and specifically from the students of that neighborhood's public elementary school, Fort Pitt Elementary School, also known as Fort Pitt Alternative Learning Academy. I've facilitated after-school game song sessions in that school, and have served as a substitute teacher in that school. Furthermore, my daughter is a long time teacher in that school. It's interesting to note that while I have collected one example of the very closely related rhyme "Bang Bang Choo Choo Train" from a student at that school", it doesn't appear that students in that school are familiar with the "Brick Wall Water Fall' rhyme/cheer. No child has ever spontaneously shared that rhyme with me (although they have shared other rhyme & cheer examples in the show & tell portions of our game song sessions and at other times). And when I have specifically asked about this rhyme by title (from 2007 and as late as June 2010), none of the girls that I have asked seems to know it. This is in stark contrast to the numerous examples of this rhyme that I have read online, at other sites and on this website. This doesn't mean that "Brick Wall Water Fall" isn't known in Pittsburgh, though I tend to believe that it probably isn't well known (if it's known at all) at that particular school. All this goes to show that even a very widely known children's rhyme or cheer isn't necessarily known among all populations of children.
As of 11/26/2007: Because so many versions of this cheer have already been posted, I won't be featuring any more cheerleader versions of "Brickwall Waterfall" unless they are considerably different from the other versions that have already been posted.
BRICKWALL WATERFALL (Cheerleader Cheer Version #1)
Brick wall brick wall, water fall, (say a team) think they know it all, but they don't, we do, so BOOM with your attitude. repeat three times
-Jamaka; age 11; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; 3/21/2006
Editor:
From the number of submissions of this rhyme to Cocojams and from the number of other postings of this rhyme on other Internet sites, I'd guess that in 2005 "Brickwall Waterfall" is one of the most widely known playground rhymes in the USA. (That said, it's interesting that this handclap rhyme didn't appear to be known by African American girls (7-12 years old) who I asked about it in 2006-or in March 2010).
"Brickwall Waterfall"'s popularity can be traced to its inclusion in the 2003 American movie Dickie Roberts, Former Child Star. Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickie_Roberts for more information about that movie.
Also, notice how lines from "Brick Wall Water Fall" are found in "Bang Bang Choo Choo Train" rhymes that are posted upthread (above).

Editor: The first part of this cheer was popularized as a result of its inclusion in the first "Bring It On" cheerleader movie (2000).

- Anna; 8/1/2007
Editor:
I'm glad to have the information that this chant was included in one of the Bring It On cheerleader movies. For the record, "Brrrrr Its Cold In Here" is a signature chant that is associated with the African American Greek letter fraternity Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc. That fraternity has been performing this chant long before those Bring it On movies. See examples of this chant on Cocojams' Fraternity & Sorority Chants page: http://www.cocojams.com/content/fraternity-and-sorority-chants
Also, it just occurred to me that "owe owe owe" or ooh-we ooh-we oh" and similarly written phrases is part of the R&B song "Jungle Love" by Morris Day & The Times. This phrase, given as "Oh-wee-oh-wee-oh," repeats in the background of that 1984 song. Morris Day & The Times sung "Jungle Love" and other songs when Day was featured as Prince's antagonist in Prince's movie Purple Rain.

-Yasmin H., visual artist, New York City, New York; 2/25/04 (memories of East Brooklyn, New York, in the late 1980s.)
Editor:
Yasmin H. sent in version of "California Oranges" and other examples of cheers which I have posted on this page in alphabetical order. In her email, Yasmin also commented about her experiences growing up in the late 1980s in a Black/Latino neighborhood of New York City. Here's an excerpt of Yasmin's comments:
"Although the 302 cheerleading coach was a white English teacher, she'd teach us some of her cheers and would learn the rest from the members of the squad. So it wasn't unusual to have us perform (California Oranges & Standup Get Ready) back to back at a show or game"
See Yasmin's comment about "Standup Get Ready" with that example's entry.

CALIFORNIA ORANGES (Version #2)
My friend taught me this (i put the moves too):
California oranges (put your hands above your head like a circle) Texas Cactus (put your hands on your booty one at a time when u say each word) We think (point to yourselves) Your team (point away from you) Needs a lil practice (do like 3 jumping jacks while saying it). Throw em in a highchair (get down like u are proposing) Feed em with a spoon (act like u are feeding a baby) Come on girls (stand up) Lets kick em to the moon! (do a high kick)
Hope it makes sense.

CALIFORNIA ORANGES (Version #3)
...California Oranges (put your hands in a circle above your head) Texas Cactus (put your hands on your butt one word at a time and face the audience) We think (point at yourselves) your team (point at other team) needs at little practice (do 2 jumping jacks) put em in a high chair (kneel down on one knee) feed em with a spoon (pretend to feed with a spoon) com'on girls (stand up with hands on hips)
lets kick em to the moon (kick your leg up high OR do a split or something)
Hope U Liked It !!!

CHEERING IS OUR GAME
This is a cheer me and my group in cheer class made up for our finals-
Cain (replace with your school name) is the name, And cheering is our game, We've got sprit, We've got sass, Not to mention a killer...BACK (do some kind of
tumbling or replace the word with jump, or stunt), Footballs what we play, We win it every day, Expect nothing less, We are the best, MUSTANGS (replace
with your mascot).

Editor:
My guess is that "put some booty in it " means that the cheerleaders would do some butt shaking dance steps.

-Keona, age 8; Alayah, age 6 (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania); and Sheree age 7 (North Versailles, PA); collected by Azizi P. in Pittsburgh; 9/7/2006
Editor:
I wrote this cheer down while I watched the three girls perform it. The two hypens represent "two spaces" (or two claps) before the last line. Btw, Keona, Sheree, and Alayah chanted this while doing a foot stomping and handclap routine.
See Cocojams' Foot Stomping page http://www.cocojams.com/content/foot-stomping-cheers-0 for more information about foot stomping cheers. Also, see "Peaches and Cream" on this page that is almost the same as "Cookies & Cream".

-Zahria; Pittsburgh. PA; 11/24/2006
Editor:
My guess is that the "Stomp Stomp clap wave" etc portion of this cheer is performance instructions that isn't said. The "wave" can be waving your hand. Or Zahria could have meant a "wave" routine: The squad members stand in a vertical line. One right after the other, each member moves her or his body in a rippling, ocean wave-like motion.

-Diddle Diddle; 5/23/2007
Editor:
This cheerleader cheer "sounds" very much like the examples posted on Cocojams Foot Stomping Cheers page. I'm wondering if it is chanted while the group is doing foot stomping cheer motions. I'm also wondering if each member of the cheerleading squad had her (or his) own turn saying these words.

DIG IT (Version #1)
d. i, g. it (say your name) can d. i g. it digit
-Ciera; African American girl (Pittsburgh, PA); 5/16/2006
Editor:
This cheer uses the same composition pattern of foot stomping cheer. The group is heard first, and then a soloist, and then the rest of the group, followed by a soloist. The entire cheer is then repeated from the beginning-sometimes with minor changes in the rhyme, until everybody in the group has had a turn to be the soloist.
Footstomping cheers may be said to be a sub-section of urban dance style cheerleader cheers. Visit Cocojams' Foot Stomping cheers page for examples of those types of cheers

DYNAMITE (Version #15)
Editor: It appears from the contributor's email that rhis version of "Dynamite" is made up of three separate cheers that are chanted one right after the other. Those cheers are "Dynamite", "Boom Our Name Is" and "Don't Mess". Each of these cheers can be chanted separatedly.
I learned these in high school dynamite "We're hot,we're out of sight we're tick (8X) Boom, dynamite(clap 2x) boom boom dynamite. Repeat 2x At the end of the last repeat say "Boom" Is our name J-towne is our name, football is our game, purple is our color black is thee other...ooh you think we're bad, ooh we
know we're bad ooh you think we're bad. "WE'RE BAD". Don't mess Don't mess with the ____________(your team's mascot) If you can't take the heat. Cause the ___________(your team's mascot) are Hot and we will defeat. (repeat 3x)

"In regards to: Extra, Extra " the cheer is a football cheer, and the "Back up North" line came from being the..most southern? school that plays. So all the other teams are from North of Raymond, so when we say 'We're gonna send you back up north' it's like sending them back home."

FOOTBALL (Version #2)
hening is our name and football is our game so hold the sugar do the freddie cougar and step on back and do the cabage patch
-talor and leelee; 9/24/2006
Editor:
Talor and Leelee sent in their version of the football cheer four hours after Hannah sent in her version. These contributors have different email addresses so I'm assuming that they don't know each other and they didn't know that someone else would be sending a different version of the same cheer on the exact same day. Life is full of coincidences.
Btw {by the way}, "the freddie cougar" and "the cabbage patch" were popular 1980s, early 1990s R&B dances. Freddy Krueger {Freddie Cougar} was a monster in the Nightmare On Elm Streets horror movies.
Here's some information about the cabbage patch dance:
"The cabbage patch dance was introduced to the world courtesy of Gucci Crew II in 1987 but popularized by the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jerry Rice in the 1990s. The cabbage patch dance is so simple; all you need to do is stretch out your arms, put your hands together, and move them around a bit on a horizontal plane. It is especially funny when combined with the Roger Rabbit leg motions".
http://www.niallkennedy.com/blog/archives/2005/04/whats_your_happ.html
"Roger Rabbit" was the star of the 1988 movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

GO JACKETS GO
turn around like mc hammer, touch tha ground like salt and pepper, shake ur botty like frity tuddy, go jackets go, go jackets go
-tiffany; 7/31/2006
Editor:
"Mc Hammer" and "Salt-N-Pepa" are names of Hip-Hop music stars who were popular in the 1980s & early 1990s.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MC_Hammer for information on Mc Hammer and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt-N-Pepa for information about Salt & Pepa.
"Shake ur botty like frity tuddy" probably means "shake your booty like fruity tuity". "Fruity Tuity" may just be a rhyming phrase with no meaning. Or this phrase may have come from fruit flavored gelatin {jello} which has a quivering substance. "Botty" probably means "booty" and booty is another word for your "butt" or your "behind". K.C and the Sunshine Band had a hit record whose title is "Shake Your Booty".

-Yammesha P.; African Americans 15 years old (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania); softball cheer; 6/16/2007
Editor:
Yammesha said that this cheer was done during softball games at her community softball league. When the cheerleader say "I'm a monkey in a tree", they make motions imitating monkeys. I asked Yammesha do Black kids do this cheer, and she said that both Black cheerleaders and White cheerleaders do it to tease the other team. Yammesha said that that they do this chant because they hope that the person at bat will lose his concentration, and/or become so mad that he misses the ball. The sentence "You're out!" is what the cheerleaders hope will happen because the batter made mistakes and messed up his turn at the bat.
I found it interesting that Yammesha didn't know that calling Black people and other People of Color monkeys was (and sometimes still is) a common racial slur.

-Anonymous, 2/18/2006
Editor:
"In da house" (In the house) is a hip-hop slang phrase that means that someone or a group of people are present in a particular place. That phrase signals that the person or group is/are prepared to be the center of attention, or rule that place. In the context of a cheer, it means that the cheerleader's athletic team are prepared to win that game.

MY BACK ACHES
My Back Aches ("My Back Is Aching) are "standard" verses that are found in "Bang Bang Choo Choo Train" and "Brick Wall Water Fall" handclap rhymes. As these examples below demonstrate, these verses may also be chanted as independent verses.

Editor:
One of the purposes of Cocojams is to show that there often are many different versions of the same playground rhyme, and at the same time show that there aren't any right or wrong, or complete or incomplete versions of any particular playground rhyme or cheer. A rhyme is right for you because you learned it that way. But a different version of that rhyme is also right for another person. I like seeing how a rhymes change over time and/or in different places. I hope that other people will also find this interesting too.

MY MOMMA'S SHORT AND FAT
My momma's short and fat She got a butt like that And when she crosses the street All the cars go beep beep beep. Break it down to the ground.
-zahrea; 4/10/2007
Editor:
"Break it down to the ground" is an expansion on the African American slang phrase "Break it down". In this context, "break it down" means to dance really well. "Break it down" can also mean to explain something point by point so that its meaning is clearer. In the context of public speaking, listeners to a good speaker can exhort him or her to "break it down" and/or they can praise the speaker for "breaking it down".

These examples of "My Mama's Short and Fine" and "My Mama's Short And Fat" are included on the cheerleader page because they include some mention of dancing or allude to dancing. Visit the "M" page of Cocojams' Schoolyard Taunt section for examples that are similar to these cheers.
It's interesting to see that heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali's boasting rhyme lives on in the children's rhyme "fly like a butterfly sting like a bee/thats why they call me sexi". This line is also used in some children's foot stomping cheers.

MY MOM IS SHORT AND FINE (Version #2)
heres a cheer for ya!
my mom is short and fine shes got a butt like mine and when she walks downtown all the cars go beep beep beep all the cars go beep beep beep and when she goes up high she does the butterfly and when she goes down low she does the rodeo and when she gets to the top she does the pop pop pop she does the pop pop pop
-het ; 3/7/2007
Editor:
The "butterfly", the "rodeo", and the "pop" are names of American R&B/Hip-Hop dances from the late 1980s and early 1990s. People might still do these dances when they are dancing to "old school" songs (meaning, songs from those decades
MY NAME IS ___ (Example #1)
my name is kara (use your name) (other cheerleaders) yeah (the person speaking) and im a wildcat (your team name) (other cheerleaders) yeah and i love to jump (use your own thing to do then you do it)
-Kara M.; 6/5/2006
Editor:
"Introduce Yourself" examples in Cocojams Footstomping Cheers pages are very similar to this cheer.

MY MOMMA'S SHORT AND FINE (Version #3)
My momma's short and fine, she gotta butt like mine. And when she crossed the street, all the cars go beep beep beep. She likes to kick up high, and do the butterfly. She likes to get down low, and do the rodeo. She likes to slide and slide and do the butterfly. And dip and dip and shake my little hips and i want you and you to do it with me too. Whoo!

MY NAME IS ___ (Example #2)
I made this cheer up.
My name is Alayah.
(somebody else says) Yeah.
And when they see me.
It's like an earthquake!
-Alayah, age 6 years (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania); 9/7/2006
Editor:
I observed Alayah doing this cheer and several other cheerleader cheers. Alayah did a foot stomping step routine for most of this cheer. On the word "earthquake" she sashayed down, close to the floor.
Note how the references in these cheers are similar or the same as the cheers that were used in the Bring It On cheerleader movies. Those movies have had a tremendous influence on contemporary playground cheers & rhymes.

MY NAME IS ___ (Example #4)
I remembered this cheer from when I was little. (Say this with attitude) You say:
"My name is _________ and I'm a star you mess with me I'll take you far." Others say: "Woo, she thinks she's bad." You say: "Correction baby, I know I'm bad." Others say: "Woo, she thinks she's bad." You say: "Child, please!" (As you say the last line, you put your hand up as if motioning "stop") You repeat this cheer until everyone on the squad has had a turn.
-kelly, 9/27/2006
Editor:
See the examples of "I'm A Star" and "Hula Hula" on Cocojams' Foot Stomping cheers page for examples that are very much like this one.
A person who "says these words with attitude" isn't loud or noticable angry. Instead that person is cool & calm. Her (or his) voice is usually regularly pitched and her face is usually expressionless or stern. A person speaking with attitude looks the person or persons she addressing in the eye and speaks to them in a way that lets the person or people know that she means what she says. The person's voice, and facial expressions (or lack of facial expressions) and body language/gestures are supposed to conform to the words that she is saying. "Speaking with attitude" demonstrates the importance of dramatization in the performance of cheerleader cheers (and foot stomping cheers).

MY NAME IS _____ (Example #7)
I have lived all my life in a predominantly white neighborhood in Dallas , Texas . I'm 17 now.
This was used in 2006 for my all-white 8th grade volleyball team in Dallas . We used this before every game to pump us up:
Team member: My name is _____ and you know what I got?
Team: What do you got?
T.M.: I got a team that’s hotter than hot!
T: How hot is hot?!
T.M: Great serves and spikes too...
T: Uh-uh uh-uh.
T.M. We're gonna beat the whoopsies outta you!

She came home from school today, we live in Clovis, NM, with a new chant that I've never heard of before so I thought that you would like to post this.

Elvis Presley singing his cheer. We gotta F-I-G-H-T, We gotta F-I-G-H-T, We gotta F-I-G-H-T, (throw out punches into the air as the word is being spelled out each time) We gotta fight, fight, fight, on a Saturday night.

Editor:
A "diss cheer" is one that insults or "puts down" the other team. "Diss" is a hip-hop term that means "to disrepect" someone or something. To be "in another person's face" is to confront her or him whether you actually are standing up close in her or his personal space or not.

"Anamus" may mean "Anonymous" (no name given). "Pump it up" means to expand something by giving it more air (like you pump air into a tire or a baloon). In the context of sports games, "pump it up" means to raise the energy, to get more excited.

(Everybody does the same dance that the leader did while they say the same thing) YOU GOTS TO PUUMP ITT UPPP Pump it up Pump Pump it up (Then you repeat the whole cheer with the next leader who gives her name or her nickname. Everybody has a turn as the leader. The next leader can do the same dance, but when they really want to impress people, they do their own dance.)
I forgot to say that people do foot stomps during this part * . It's hard to write it out but the foot stomps go like this (left foot stomps and then clap once; right foot stomps & you clap once, and then the left foot stomps two time and then you clap. Right foot stomps & you clap once). Go back to the beginning and keep doing this until the leader says her part. Then you stop doing the steps. Nobody says anything or moves while the leader is saying her part. They are all watching her. After she finishes doing her dance, everybody tries to the same dance that she did while they say YOU GOTS TO PUUMP ITT UPPP Pump it up Pump Pump it up. And then you go back to the beginning of the whole cheer. I hope you like it.

RAZZLE DAZZLE (Version #1)
I hate these cheers, they are for like the 1st grade, here is a good chant: Razzle Dazzle, razzle dazzle hi we are the Hornets and we are number one and in this razzle dazzle has just began so if you see us step aside cause we dont take no jive, razzle dazzle razzle dazzle Oh she thinks she bad, lord honey we know we're bad our skirts are green our shirts are white, step to us be ready to fight, razzle dazzle razzle dazzle.
-Cassie and Becca ; 5/22/2006
Editor:
This cheer is very similar to the footstomping cheer called "Hula Hula" cheer. Note that in one example of Razzle Dazzle given above, the cheer is performed in a circle while every foot stoming cheer performances that I've ever seen the girls stand in a horizontal line or, less often, in a vertical line. I think that one of the reasons why those formations are favored instead of a circle, is that the circle means that some girls would have their backs to the audience. See versions of "Hula Hula" on the "H" page of Cocojams' FootStomping Cheers section.
In the context of these cheerleader cheers, to "razzle dazzle" someone, is to impress them with your brillant appearance or your fantastic actions. The phrase "razzle dazzy" was used in a popular broadway song "Razzle Dazzle Them", but I doubt that very many children chanting this cheer know about that song.
In the context of this cheer, "taking no jive" means that you aren't going to let anyone mislead you or push you around. And in the context of this cheer, being "bad" is very good.

RAZZLE DAZZLE (Version #2)

-Janell H., memories of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (Homewood section), mid to late 1980s; collected by Azizi P; 9/04; posted Azizi on 2/11/2006
Editor:
Janell told me that she remembers this cheer being performed by girls as old as 14 years who were pretending to be cheerleaders. Two or more girls performed this cheer and others on the sidewalks because "they didn't have anything else to do for fun". Janel told me that this cheer was also performed by Westinghouse High School cheerleaders, but she thinks that the cheerleaders got this and other cheers "from the street" and not the other way around. Notice how the word "red" is elongated to add more soulful "flava" to this cheer.

-Coach Dawn; Fort Pitt Elementary School Cheerleaders (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 2004)
Editor:
In the late 1960s, 1970s, "Right on!" was a widely used saying among African Americans and other people. "Right on!" means something like "Yeah!, that's right!" This saying indicates that you enthusiastically agree with someone or some action or that you really like what was said or done.

Editor:
"R.O.C." probably means "rock". and "2dia" probably means "today" (2+ the Spanish word for day, "dia"). "To rock with" something means to enjoy it, really like it, or really support it.

ROCK STEADY (Version #1)
rock, rock steady cause your team ain't even ready to rock rock rock rock steady eddy eddy eddy rock rock steady cause our team is always ready to rock rock rock steady eddy eddy rock
-Brianna ; 4/22/2006
Editor:
"Rock Steady" was a type of Caribbean music and the dance that went to that music. I'm not sure how the dance went, but probably consistently rocking your hips from side to side to the beat was a part of it. In the context of children's cheerleader cheers, "rock steady" probably means to consistently do what needs to be done to win the athletic team competition.
There have been several R&B songs that have the title "Rock Steady" (The Whispers; Aretha Franklin). To my knowledge, none of these songs have the "steady eddy eddy eddy" line. This line may have been some child's creation. And thanks to cheerleader cheers, it appears that the lyrics "Rock steady eddy eddy eddy" may have outlived the "Rock Steady" dance.
ROCK THE BOAT (Version #1)
Rock the boat,
Rock, rock the boat
repeat
My name is Yasmin (rock the boat)
I know I'm fine (rock the boat)
Just like my sign (rock the boat)
My sign is Leo
I go bang-bang choo choo train
Wind me up and I do my thing
Reeses pieces butter cup
Don't mess with me, cause I'll mess you up,
Rock the boat, rock rock the boat...
-Yasmin H., visual artist {New York City, New York}, 2/25/04 {memories of East Brooklyn, New York, in the late 1980s.}
Editor:
The words in parenthesis were chanted by the other members of the cheerleading squad. The "rock the boat" refrain probably come from the The Hues Corporation's 1974 R&B hit song with that title. Click
http://ntl.matrix.com.br/pfilho/html/lyrics/r/rock_the_boat.txt for the lyrics to that song.
The "reeses pieces butter cup/mess with me I'll mess you up" line is also found in the widely known "Brick Wall Water Fall" handclap rhyme/cheerleader cheer.

-Princess R.; 5/4/2006
Editor:
"The Angels" is the name of this school's sports team. In the context of this cheer, "to rock with" someone means to "hang with (associate yourself with) them, to support them, to enjoy yourself with them.

ROCK WITH THE GREY AND ROLL WITH THE MAROON
I just want to say that Becky stole that cheer because I personally made that up (I have witnesses) it goes:
Hey Vikings You know what you got to do, You got to rock with the Grey and roll with Maroon I just thought you all should know because it doesnt sound right the way she put it. Thanks
-Kayla B., 2/1/2006
Editor:
See "Rock With The Green And Roll With The Gold" (10/26/05) for the cheer that Kayla is referring to. Kayla, I don't think that Becky stole this cheer from you. I'm glad that you are using your creativity to make up some cheers. But a lot of cheers sound the same and have similar words.
One of the goals of Cocojams is to show that there are often many different versions of the same cheer or the same rhyme. People have sent in a lot of versions of cheers on this page. Some of these versions are bound to be very similar to each other. Because we are used to hearing something we created or we learned from somebody else, hearing it or reading it done another way often means that that other way doesn't sound right to us. But that way probably sounds fine to the other person. I wouldn't be surprised if Becky B. was just as surprised as you were that there was someone else who says different words for trhe cheer that she sent in.

-K-del ; 6/11/2007
Editor:
The Bring It On series of cheerleader movies have greatly influenced contemporary children's cheers. People who haven't seen these movies should try to see them (in my opinion, and the opinion of several movie reviewers, the 1st and the 3rd movies in the series are the best ones).
K-del, thanks for your compliment about this Cocojams. I'm happy that the cheers posted on Cocojams are actually being used. It's interesting to read different versions of cheers & rhymes that are done throughout the USA and throughout other places in the world. I hope that people will keep on sending in examples so Cocojams will continue to be the number one resource for children's cheers & rhymes.

S-C-A-R-E-D We got em scared whoo shakin in their cleets.
-Marissa; 9/27/2006
Editor:
Marissa, at first I thought "cleets" was a misspelling of the words "sheets". Then I remembered we're talking athlete cheers here. So I looked up the word "cleets" and found out that word is also spelled "cleats". http://www.answers.com/topic/cleat gives this meaning for cleats:
"A projecting piece of metal or hard rubber attached to the underside of a shoe to provide traction; A pair of shoes with such projections on the soles."
-snip-
So now I understand the cheer. The other teams' so scared that they're shakinin their shoes. Okay. Sorry. Sometimes it takes me a while to "get it". Carry on. :o)

SEXY
(The comments below are excerpted from an email that I received from YasminH).
"To go back to the gesturing thing, in addition to promoting this idea of "toughness" since I guess most were adolescent girls, the concept of being "pretty" and "sexy" also became very important. Before I became an I.S. 302 cheerleader, I was delighted to have learned one of their cheers which appropriately was titled "Sexy". The hand-clapping and foot stomping was more complex and produced a much nicer sound than what I had been used to:
We are the girls and we're foxy fine
And we know
We are the girls and we'll blow your mind
And we show it
We turn around
We touch the ground
We shake out booty and
Oooh we're sexy
In this last part we would do all those things, turn around, touch the ground, etc. After shaking of our booties we'd stomp our foot, cock our heads to side with attitude and announce in sync, "Ooh we're sexy".

SHABOOYA ROLL CALL
"Shabooya Roll Call" is a cheer that was featured in the 2006 Bring It On. All Or Nothing cheerleader movie. This was the third movie in the Bring It On cheerleader movie series. Versions of this cheer are posted here regardless of the title or first line given to the example. Note that one of the contributors of these examples is from Scotland and another is from Australia. That lends credence to the power of internationally shown movies to influence the recreational chants of young people throughout the world.

Editor:

All of the girls performing this cheer do the foot stomping routine (stompclap stompstompclap. {stomp-right foot; clap-hands; stomp left then right foot; clap hands). One girl at at time says the cheer while she is doing the routine along with the other girls. After that girl says the entire cheer, the cheer starts again and the next girl says the same thing except she says her name or her nickname. This pattern continues until every girl has had one turn as the soloist.

"The land down under" is a referent for Australia. So far, two people from Australia have sent in versions of the "Sitting in the grandstand" cheer.

And please remember to include the name of your city, state, and nation (the "nation"

Editor:
See this email from Nicole that provides more information about this cheer:
"I'm from Southern Alberta, Canada, in a little town named Raymond. The reason the song is called Sons of Raymond is because most of our big sports are played by the Sons of Raymond, rather than the Daughters. lol In fact, most of the time, if there are girl's sports going on, they're usually scheduled around the guys games! It's been sung since our town got big on sports".

(memories of East Brooklyn, New York, in the late 1980s)
Editor:
Here is an excerpt of Yasmin's comments:
"What this ... cheer did with its musical rhythm was hype up the audience. Kind of reminds me of the role of black marching bands in the south, at games, and their incorporation of more funk, and hip-hop beats that they know speak to people of color. Well in a school that was predominantly black and latino Rock Steady was more likely to get a rise out of the crowd than "California Oranges".

"Fruntin" is probably the slang word "frontin". It's meaning is something like "pretending to be better than you are". "Bumpin" means the same thing as "kickin" or "rockin". It means the rhymes are good (because their beat and rhythm is good) .

-samantha; 11/4/2006
Editor:
The Warriors are "in the house" means that team is "here". In this context, there also is an implication that the team is "hyped" and ready to win. Also, "uh oh" is an utterance that can loosely be interpreted as "Oh no, you better watch out". "Bet" is probably a typo for "beat."

....WHAT THATS WARRIOR BATTLE CRY? FANS/CROWD- V I C T O R Y
(spelling it out again)....THATS THE WARRIOR BATTLE CRY. at pep rallies, u yell it at every grade level and whoever has the loudest answer wins little candies or sumthin. u dont have to give them anything. another way to make this more exciting is to allow the kids to stomp their feet on the bleachers when shouting back to you. have fun and it use it

Editor:
This example and several others on this page are from an email that I received from Yasmin H. Excerpts from her comments follow:
"We would begin each performance session with this piece because every girl had to go through this process and so it became the "introduction" piece. I also want to point out with the above piece that the term "get-fresh crew" was something we had borrowed from the then popular "Get-Fresh crew" which was a hip-hop act consisting of Dough E. Fresh and Slick Rick. The beats in our cheers and even song-tunes usually mimicked popular hip-hop beats of the time."

Editor:
Alexandra, cheers that are the same or are similar don't mean that a person "copied" someone else. Two or more cheerleading teams could have learned the same cheer at the same time. They might say it exactly the same. Or they might change it a little bit, or a lot. Two cheerleading squads may perform the same cheer a different way. Even if they do it the same way, it's all good.

WE'RE NOT SELFISH
We're not selfish, we're not mean, we're gonna cheer for the other team, go (opponent) go (opponent), go (opponent)....sike!
-cheer friend; 11/1/2006
Editor:
"Sike", it is an America slang word that rhymes with the English word "like". "Sike" means something like "I'm just kidding". "Sike" is often spoken or written when people say something insulting but want to pretend that they didn't mean what they just said or-as is the case with this cheer, someone takes back a compliment or nice thing that you just said. I think that the word "sike" is a phonetic way of spelling the word "psyched". "Psyched" is a form of the word "psychology". People who try to "psych" another person by saying one thing when they actually mean the opposite.

"We Will Rock You" cheerleader cheers are closely based on the 1977 hit song with that same name that was recorded by the rock group Queen.

Also click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Will_Rock_You for more information on the making of Queen's "We Will Rock You" and examples of this song's use during sporting events, and on television shows & television commercials.

Editor:
This taunting cheer was performed to foot stomps that alternated with (individual) handclaps. Both girls said the first two lines and then one girl said the rest of the cheer. The second girl continued to do the foot stomping movement while the first one said the chant and continued to do the foot stomping movement. The cheer was then repeated from the beginning with the new "soloist" who says her name and the exact same words. Sometimes minor changes are made, for instance instead of saying "slapped", you can say "cracked".
