When I was in elementary school, my friends and I would sing that song and draw two circles and two dots on your arm, cheek, leg etc. and sing "Circle, circle, dot, dot! Now you've got your cootie shot!"
Supposedly that would protect us from boy cooties.
Wow, that was...six or seven years ago...
Oh the joys of being a beautiful third-grader... haha. Just kidding.
Supposedly if you did "circle, circle, dot, dot! Now you've got your cootie shot!" and a boy touched you, held your hand, or kissed you, you'd be protected from getting the vile and disgusting boy cooties.

For example, say a boy kissed you. Someone could come up to you, and where the boy has kissed you, they would say circle, circle, dot , dot. Now you've got your cootie shot. That supposibly takes away the cooties! Haha. Yes, I was the queen of getting away cooties when I was littler. Hope I have helped! :] [ lookitslorin's advice column | Ask lookitslorin A Question ]
