    I have a vague recollection of girls playing a game and that being part of the rhyme they used. Anyone remember it?

    dublin, derry, cork and kerry
    sliding down a hill of jelly
    they reached the bottom
    and put on wellys
    riding georgia salpa
    as she slapped their bellys

    Dublin, Derry, Cork and Kerry,
    the people are sound and they like to get merry,

    They have an alcohol problem that is ruining their lives.

    Nope, it was definitely, Dublin, Derry, Cork, and Kerry although your rhyme sounds vaguely familiar too, maybe one is the second verse of the other. :)

    I was told

    'Londonderry, Cork and Kerry. Spell that without a K'

    Tried it on my primary school teacher who was from Tyrone, and was quickly reminded that it was Derry, not Londonderry.
