The song "circle circle, dot dot" is a playground song that supposedly serves to immunize a child from the affliction of cooties. The words are as follows:

Circle, circle.

Dot, dot.

Now I have my cootie shot.

The words circle and dot are accompanied by the corresponding shape being traced on the recipient's hand or arm. If the cootie shot was not self-administered, "you" and "your" may be substituted for "I" and "my".

There are also several variations:

Circle circle,

spoon spoon.

Now I am cootie immune.

Circle circle,

knife knife.

Now I've got my shot for life.

Circle, circle.

Square, square.

Now I have it everywhere. (Now I'm protected everywhere.)

Circle, circle.

Line, line.

Now I have it all the time. (Now I'm protected all the time.)

"It" refers to the cootie shot, not cooties.
