This nonsense song has been around for a long time as a street-play skipping game.  It mirrors life quite well, as childhood diseases all merge into one when you are young.  Having the toy do the silly thing makes the child more powerful; they are much too grown-up to “eat the soap”.  It is fun to play with the ideas in this song.  Children also get to consider roles played by people outside the family.
