I remember most of the one in the “Stay Soft Fro” TV commercial from the 70s (80s?):

> [@](#):

> [First line forgotten]  
> Stay Soft Fro is right-on-time!  
> For mommies and daddies and chil-dren-too!  
> Stay Soft Fro is good-to-use!

That was about as close as I ever got to jumping rope and reciting a rhyme.
