Somewhere at my parents' house I have a double LP of a Cockney geezer singing childrens' songs of the genus arr. trad. which features a similar song that haunts me to this day:
Eeny meeny makaraka Om pom pakaraka Eeny meeny makaraka Om pom push Ip dip chibberdy dip You clap your hands and you start to skip Ip dip chibberdy dip You can't hang around all da-ayyy Eeny meeny makaraka (etc.)
It's worth a quick search for "om pom push" to find variants up and down the country, plus h2g2 has a page called "selection rhymes" which answers your original question with copious data. (Admittedly, from ten years ago.)
I understand that "Dick and Dom" had a game with a similar extended name at some point.

Eeny meeny makaraka
Om pom push
Ip dip chibberdy dip
You clap your hands and you start to skip
Ip dip chibberdy dip
You can't hang around all da-ayyy
Eeny meeny makaraka (etc.)
