Singing while coloring

Where “Une poule sur un mur” comes from, and how it is sung.

A hen on a wall pecks at hard bread; “picoti, picota”, she lifts her tail and off she goes. Four lines and that’s all: a counting rhyme to pick who is “it” at the start of a game. It can also be played with one hand: the index finger pecks in the palm, then the hand flies away on the last line.
