    Ah I see, thanks for explaining! I feel a bit dense right now, but what is “says” supposed to mean? Or am I thinking about it too much and it’s just a fill word to have a four word chant.

      You’re thinking about it the right amount. It’s a fill word.

      I learned the game as a kid and it was one of those things everyone just knows to say, like “olly olly oxen free” or “eeny meeny miny mo.” It’s just what you say.
