The Clapping Song

Three, six, nine

The goose drank wine

The monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line

The line broke, the monkey got choked

And they all went to heaven in a little row boat

Clap pat, clap pat, clap pat

Clap, clap, clap pat

Clap your hand, pat it on your partners hand

Right hand

Clap pat, clap your hand cross it with your left arm

Pat your partners left palm

Clap pat, clap your hand pat your partners right palm

With your right palm again

Clap slap

Slap your hands, slap your thigh

And sing a little song, go

My mother told me if I was goody

That she would buy me a rubber dolly

My auntie 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 street car line

The line broke, the monkey got choked

And they all went to heaven in a little row boat

Clap pat

Clap your hands and prepare to pat

Clap

Take your right arm

Pat your partners right palm

With your right palm

Clap

Take your hand back and clap

Pat

Take your right arm

Cross your right arm with your left arm

Take your partners left palm with your left palm

Clap

Take your hand back and clap

Clap

Take your right arm, cross your left arm

Pat your partners right palm with your right palm

Clap

Now back with the clap

Clap

Take the pats 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 goody

A that she would buy me

A rubber dolly

My auntie told her

I kissed a soldier

Now she won't buy me

A rubber dolly

Clap, clap pat, clap pat, clap, slap...
