"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe", which can be spelled a number of ways ('Eenie, meenie, miney, moe', 'Eany, meany, miney, mo' and so on.), is a children's counting rhyme, used to select a person to be "it" for games (such as tag) and similar purposes such as counting out a child who has to be excluded from a group of children as part of a playground game.
Variations of this rhyme, with the nonsense/counting first line have been collected since the 1820s, such as this Scottish one.
Hickery Pickery, pease scon
Where will this young man gang?
He'll go east, he'll go west,
he'll go to the crow's nest.
Hickery Pickery, Hickery Pickery
More recognizable as a variation, which even includes the 'toe' and 'olla' from Kipling's version is
Eenie, Meenie, Tipsy, toe;
Olla bolla Domino,
Okka, Pokka dominocha,
Hy! Pon! Tush!
This was one of many variants of "counting out rhymes" collected by Bolton in 1888.
