Shirley Ellis - The Clapping Song lyrics
Your rating:
Three, six, nine, 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 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 your hand, cross it with your left arm, pat your partner's left palm Clap-Pat: Clap your hand, pat your partner's right palm with your right palm again Clap-Slap: Clap your hands, slap your thighs, and sing a little song; go: My mother told me If I was good-ee 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 chewed tobacco on the streetcar line The line broke, the monkey got choked, They all went to heaven in a little row-boat Clap-clap: Clap you hands and prepare to pat Pat: Take your right arm pat your partner's right palm with your right palm Clap: Take your hands back and clap Pat: Take you right arm cross your right arm with your left arm pat your partner's left palm with your left palm. Clap: Take your hands back and clap Pat: Take your right arm cros your left arm and pat your partner's right palm with your right palm. Clap: Now back, with a clap Take the flats of your palms and slap your thighs and watch the fun materialize as you sing this little song: My mother told me If I was good-ee 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 Clap-Pat Clap-Pat Clap-Pat Clap-Slap Clap-Pat Clap-Pat Clap-Pat Clap-Slap
