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, 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-clap, 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 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, slap
Clap-pat, clap your hand
Pat it on your partner's hand, right hand

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, slap
Clap-pat, clap your hand
Pat it on your partner's hand, right hand

Clap, clap
Clap, clap
Clap, clap
Clap, clap
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 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 (three, six, nine, the goose drank wine)
Clap pat, clap, slap (the monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line)
Clap pat, clap pat (the line broke, the monkey got choked)
Clap pat, clap, slap (and they all went to heaven in a little row boat)
