The Clapping Song
(Clap)
(Clap pat)
(Clap)
Three, six, nine, the goose drank wine
The monkey chew tobacco on the streetcar line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little rowboat
Clap pat
Clap pat
Clap pat
Clap slap
Clap pat
Clap your hand, pat it on your partner's hand
Right hand
Clap pat
Clap pat clap your hand, cross it with your left arm
Pat you partner's left palm
Clap pat
Clap your hand, slap your thighs
And sing a little song, go
My mama told me
If I was goody
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
Three, six, nine, the goose drank wine
The monkey chew tobacco on the streetcar line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little rowboat
Clap pat
Clap pat
Clap pat
Clap slap
Clap pat
Clap your hand, pat it on your partner's hand
Right hand
Three, six, nine, the goose drank wine
The monkey chew tobacco on the streetcar line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little rowboat
Clap pat
Clap pat
Clap pat
Clap slap
Clap pat
Clap your hand, pat it on your partner's hand
Right hand
Clap pat
Clap pat
Clap pat (three, six, nine)
Clap pat (three, six, nine)
As you sing this little song
My mama told me
If I was goody
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
Three, six, nine, the goose drank wine
The monkey chew tobacco on the streetcar line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little rowboat
Clap pat (three, six, nine)
Clap pat (three, six, nine)
Clap pat (the monkey chew tobacco on the streetcar line)
Clap slap
Clap pat (the line broke)
Clap pat (the monkey got choked)
Clap pat (and they all went to heaven in a little rowboat)
Clap slap
Clap (pat)
(Clap)
