Tell me funny "magic word" variations of "please" when you were a kid

Did your family or region have different "magic words" for passwords or variations of please?
I was playing with preschoolers on the playground at work, and I started blocking them from going down the slide and making them say "the magic word" to slide down. It was fun, because any word they said was "the magic word" and I let them pass. It reminded me of when I was a kid, my uncle would sometimes "block" me until I said the "magic word." Sometimes it was "please," but it morphed into "cottage cheese," probably because it could sound like or rhyme with please.
Did your family or region have different "magic words" for passwords or variations of please? "Open sesame" is a popular variation, but I'm looking for more personal or regional words or phrases.
