The Clapping Song
[Verse 1]
3, 6, 9
The goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco
On the streetcar line
The line broke
The monkey got choked
They all went to heaven
In a little row-boat
[Chorus 1]
Clap-Pat
- Peace in America!
Clap pat
- Peace to the world!
Clap-Pat
Clap;
Slap
[Verses 2]
My mother told me
If I was good
That she would buy me
A rubber dolly
My aunty told her
I kissed a soldier
Now she won't buy me
A rubber dolly
Hands!
[Chorus 2]
Clap-clap
- Clap your hands and prepare to pat
Pat
- Take your right arm
Clap
- Take your partner's right palm with your right palm
Pat
Clap
Pat
Clap;
Slap
[Bridge]
Takе the pats of your palms
And slap with your thighs
And watch the fun materializе
As you sing this little song
[Verses 2 repeat]
My mother told me
If I was good
That she would buy me
A rubber dolly
My aunty told her
I kissed a soldier
Now she won't buy me
A rubber dolly
Hey!
[Verse 1 repeat]
3-6-9
The goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco
On the streetcar line
The line broke
The monkey got choked
They all went to heaven
In a little row-boat
[Chorus 3]
Clap-pat
- Clap your hands and prepare to pat
Clap-pat
Clap-pat
Clap;
Slap
[Chorus 4]
(Clap-pat)
Take your right arm
Put your partner's right palm
(Clap-pat)
With your right palm;
(Clap-pat)
Take your right-hand back
And clap
Clap;
Slap
[Chorus 5]
(Clap-pat)
Take your right arm
Cross your right arm
(Clap-pat)
With your left arm
(Clap-pat)
Catch your partner's left palm
With your left palm
Slap
Hey!
Peace in America
Peace to the world
