The Clapping Song

Lyrics

[Chorus] 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 row boat [Post-Chorus] Clap-pat, clap-pat Clap-pat, clap, slap [Verse 1] 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 hand, slap your thighs and sing a little song [Refrain] 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 [Chorus] 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 row boat [Verse 2] Clap-pat Clap your hands and prepare to pat Take your right arm Pat your partners right palm with your right palm Take your hand back and clap (Clap) Take your right arm Cross your right arm with your partner's left arm Pat your partner's left palm with your left palm Now back with a clap Take the pats of your palms and slap your thighs And watch the fun materialize As you sing this little song [Refrain] 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 [Chorus] 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 row boat [Post-Chorus] Clap-pat, clap-pat Clap-pat, clap, slap Clap-pat, clap-pat Clap-pat, clap, slap [Refrain] 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 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
