Re: how many remember this from their school days
I think it was a skipping rhyme

Anyone know the origins of the childrens song "The big ship sails on the alley alley oh?"What does it mean? - Yahoo! UK & Ireland Answers
according to yahoo, it was to commemorate the opening of the Manchester ship canal in 1894
