Because if you don’t have a simple, hard and fast rule for duchy-passers, they can get confused and keep passing it back and forth between just a few, excluding some would-be duchy-passers. Duchy-passers can’t be expected to keep track of who has been passed a duchy or not; putting the rule in a catchy little song ensures that duchy-passing is fair and consistent, and nobody gets left out when the duchy is Bogarted.

Yeah? So, not like I’m speaking from experience or anything like that (or maybe in the long-distant past, she might be), but after a duchy or two, the duchy-passers generally can’t tell right from left.
And they find that fact utterly hilarious.
