The one I learnt as a kid was: "Eeny meeny miny moe Catch a monkey by his toe If he squeals let him go Eeny meeny miny moe" There are several variations but I have no idea about Justin Bieber's version (sorry, I don't even know who he is).

"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe", which can be spelled a number of ways, is a children's counting rhyme, used to select a person to be "it" for games and similar purposes. The rhyme has existed in various forms since the 1850s, or perhaps earlier, and is common in many languages, with similar-sounding nonsense syllables. Common modern versions include: Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, Catch a tiger by the toe. If he hollers let him go, Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eeny,_meeny,_miny,_moe

i think they have no meaning i know it's only a song for children, we have it in egypt called"hady bady" a child begins singing it as if he is counting the children like 1 2 3, and so on till he/she reaches the last word . the boy who you touch when saying the last word will be the chosen one to close his/her eyes or cover his/her eyes with a band till the other children hide, then he/she tries to find them
