The Clapping Song

[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
