The Clapping Song Song Lyrics

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 hand... right hand

Clap pat! clap your hand...

Cross it with your left arm

Pat your partner left palm

Clap pat! clap your hand...

Pat your partner right palm

And a right palm again

Clap slap! clap your hand...

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'd kissed a soldier

Now she won't buy me

A rubber dolly

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 clap!

Clap your hands and prepare to pat

Clap!

Take your right arm

Pat your partner's right palm with your right palm

Clap!

Take your hand back and clap

Clap!

Take your right arm

Cross your right arm with your left arm

Pat your partner's left palm with your left palm

Clap!

Take your left arm

Cross your left arm with your right arm

Pat your partner's right palm with your right palm

Clap!

Now back with a clap

Clap!

Take your hand to your palm and slap your thigh

And watch the fun materialize

My Mother told me

If I was goody

That she would buy me

A rubber dolly

My Auntie told her

I'd kissed a soldier

Now she won't buy me

A rubber dolly
