What is this "eenee menee decee meenee, ooadah adah meenee, excell meenee cella meenee, ooadah adah meenee"

I'm sure it's spelt wrong-I have written it as it sounds. Was it part of a song or chant, a game? It sounds french. I don't recall a melody with it, but I know I learned it in the primary school in the late1960's. What is it? Does somebody know? My daughter is facinated by the sound of it when I repeat the words and we'd love to know if there was more to it and what it means. Can you help?

(Am I in the right category with this question? If not, apologies!)
