It goes something like this Eenie, meenie, miney, moe, Catch a tiger by the toe, If he hollers, let him go, Eenie, meenie, miney, moe Every kid waits in suspense, hoping the last moe doesn’t land on them. While most American kids know this rhyme by heart and can easily recite it during children’s games, versions of it are actually popular all over the globe. Eenie, Meenie around the world Counting-out rhymes, like this one, were popular decision-making tools for children years ago and are still used today. And, this particular rhyme isn’t only found in the US; kids in England, France, Denmark, Germany, and Zimbabwe all make decisions using similar-sounding rhymes. Despite language differences, the first lines of each version are remarkably alike.

Is it originally American? British? Dutch? Some theories outlined below take a stab at the American chant’s birthplace. But, it gets a little complicated because parts of the rhyme probably come from different places and times. Why do so many fairy tales contain a hero named Jack? It’s not a coincidence—there’s actually a pretty interesting explanation! Although it seems weird that a similar rhyme would emerge all over the world, researchers believe that it could have simply resulted from different children learning which sounds go well together. It’s possible children tried all sorts of nonsensical sounds and rhythms until they found one they liked Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe and its variants just happened to win out most of the time because it was pleasant to hear and say, like most nursery rhymes. Nevertheless, there are as many theories as to the origin of Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe as there are variations. Let’s take a look at some of them. The origin of this nursery rhyme Versions of the rhyme have existed since before 1820. But, some folklorists propose it goes back much further, suggesting that counting-out rhymes like Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe originate from Ancient Celtic rituals of sorting out who would be chosen to die as a punishment or, perhaps, a sacrifice. In this theory, the words Eenie, meenie, miney, moe are thought come from the Celtic words for the numbers “one, two, three, four.” Interestingly, Dutch scholars had the same idea. In the 1950s, a Dutch language historian proposed that the first line Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe comes from “anne manne miene mukke,” the first line of an ancient heathen priest song in which the chanter supplicates the high priestess for a divine sign about who should live or die. Speaking of counting, a less fatalistic theory is that Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe traces back to an old British counting system known as the Anglo-Cymric Score. In the 1700s up to the early 1900s, variations of the Score were used in the UK and the US by fishermen needing to take stock of the day’s catch, shepherds and farmers accounting for their animals, and women keeping track of rows in knitting. Versions of the Score include Northern England, southern Scotland yan, tan, tethera, methera, pimp Ireland eina, mina, pera, peppera, pinn US een, teen, tether, fether, fip It’s not hard to see why children would use a playful variation of essentially “one, two, three” to count down their options. Counting off has always been a way to group and identify things. While there does seem to be a lot of evidence to support the counting origin of Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, there is one part of the rhyme’s history that is anything but fun and games. Eenie, Meenie takes a dark turn The diverse origins of the first line Eenie, meenie, miney, moe are plausible but contested. The second line in the American rhyme, Catch a tiger by the toe, has a clearer and more dismal ancestry that traces right back to the United States. Prior to the popular variation used today that involves catching tigers, a common American variant of the rhyme used a racist slur against Black people instead of the word tiger. This offensive variation was widely used until around the 1950s when kid-friendly variations that instead use words like tiger, tinker, and piggy became commonplace. In this case, we say the kids had the right idea to go after those tiger’s toes. It’s the only nursery rhyme that can be used to settle an argument or problems of choice. Videos by American Songwriter That’s right, we’ve all taken advantage of the catchy, quirky nursery rhyme, “Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe.” But what does the ditty mean? What is the history behind it—both good and bad—and what does it all mean? That’s what we’ll dive into today. So, without further ado, let’s do just that. Origins The catchy tune is known as a “counting-out rhyme” and it’s often used to select a person for a game or for a prize. It’s also commonly used as above with Homer Simpson when choosing what button to push, what car to select see Dodge commercial below, or any other number of options. Scholars say that the rhyme existed well before 1820 and is common in many languages, not just in English. Since many counting-out rhymes have existed earlier, it is difficult to know the ditty’s exact origin. Today, the most common English version goes like this Eeny, meeny, miny, moeCatch a tiger by the toeIf he hollers, let him goEeny, meeny, miny, moe. Other Variations Throughout history, many variations have been recorded, which include additional words, phrases, concepts, and even characters. For example My mother saidto pick thevery best oneand you are it. Or… …and you areNOT it. Possible Historical Explanations The first record of a similar rhyme, known as the “Hana, man,” originates in 1815. That’s when children in New York City are said to have often said the rhyme Hana, man, mona, mikeBarcelona, bona, strikeHare, ware, frown, vanacHarrico, warico, we wo, wac. The scholar Henry Carrington Bolton also discovered this rhyme in German Ene, tene, mone, mei,Pastor, lone, bone, strei,Ene, fune, herke, berke,Wer? Wie? Wo? Was? And author Rudyard Kipling has used this nonsense verse in his writing Eenie, Meenie, Tipsy, toe;Olla bolla Domino,Okka, Pokka dominocha,Hy! Pon! Tush! A Cornish version from 1882 goes Ena, mena, mona, mite,Bascalora, bora, bite,Hugga, bucca, bau,Eggs, butter, cheese, stock, stone dead – OUT. More Possible Historical Connections Likely, the rhyme that we know today comes to us from Old English or Welsh counting, likely from farm jobs, such as counting sheep or crops. An old shepherd’s count is known as the “Yan Tan Tehera” and the Cornish “End, mena, mona, mite” above. Another explanation comes from British colonists who returned from India after learning the rhyme used in carom billiards baji, neki, baji, thou, elim, tilim, latim, gou. There is a Swahili poem brought to the Americas by enslaved Africans that goes Iino ya mmiini maiini mo. Of course, throughout history, there are even more of these rhythmic, nonsense-sounding rhymes. And there will be more into the centuries, most likely. Sad, Racist Controversies Of course, the rhyme has been made ugly and abused. During times of slavery, the word “tiger” was replaced by the N-word. Bolton even reports that this was the most common version among American school children as of 1888, showing how ugly our history has been at times. Versions like the below also appeared in Australia, unfortunately. Bert Fitzgibbon’s 1906 song offers a window into this ugliness Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Mo,Catch a n—-r by the toe,If he won’t work then let him go;Skidum, skidee, when you get money, your little brideWill surely find out where you hide,So there’s the door and when I count four,Then out goes you. Adding to the problem, reportedly in 1993, a school teacher in Mequon, Wisconsin, provoked a student walkout when she said in reference to poor test scores, “What did you do? Just go eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a n—-r by the toe?” This caused the school’s district superintendent to recommend the teacher “lose three days of pay, undergo racial sensitivity training, and have a memorandum detailing the incident placed in her personnel file.” On other occasions, black airplane passengers said they were humiliated because of the rhyme’s “racist history” after a Southwest Airlines flight attendant, encouraging them to sit down on the plane so it could take off, said, “Eeny meeny miny mo, Please sit down it’s time to go.” Similar moments like this have persisted, including an unbroadcast outtake from a BBC show during which presenter Jeremy Clarkson recited the rhyme and mumbled the racist part. Clarkson later apologized to viewers. In 2017, a t-shirt retailer had the first line printed on a shirt with a baseball bat, harking to The Walking Dead character Negan, which caused some to say the shirt was offensive and “relates directly to the practice of assaulting black people in America.” There is also a moment in the film, Pulp Fiction, in which a heinous character says the rhyme and uses the N-word before engaging in sexual abuse. More Recent Versions During the Second World War, a reporter for the Associated Press in Atlanta, Georgia, reported that local school children were heard reciting a wartime variation that went Eenie, meenie, minie, moe,Catch the emperor by his he hollers make him sayI surrender to the USA.'” Another one from the 1950s went Eeeny, meeny, miney, the baby on the he’s done,Wipe his tell his mother what he’s done. Final Thoughts Today, while the rhyme has been used to cause severe racist harm, it is not thought of in these terms by most. It’s often considered a cute, quirky rhyme. But, of course, not everything we enjoy today can be taken for granted. It’s important to know the history of even the things that today seem innocuous. If we don’t know our history, we are doomed to repeat it. As in the clip of Homer on The Simpsons, the rhyme is often used in ways that have nothing to do with racism. And the origins of the rhyme likely hopefully? don’t stem from those grotesque years when humans owned other humans. But, the more you know… Photo by
