The Clapping Song

E

E
3,6,9 the goose drank wine the monkey chewed tobacco in the streetcar line.
    E
The line broke, the monkey got choked ad they all went to heaven in a little rowboat.

     E
CA P PAT! CA P PAT! CA P PAT! CA P, SA P!

          E
My mother told me, if I was goody.
               E
That she would by me, a rubber dolly.
          E
My auntie told her, I kissed a soldier,
              E
Now she won't buy me a rubber dolly.
HEY!

     E
Clap, Clap. Clap your hands and prepare to pat, PAT!
                    E
Take your right arm, CA P! Put your partner's right palm with your right palm, PAT!
E
CA P! PAT! CA P! SA P!

          E
Take the pats of your palms, and slap your thighs,
And watch the fun materialize, as you sing this little song.

          E

     E
Clap your hands and prepare to pat - PAT!
     E
CA P PAT! CA P SA P!
     E
CA P PAT! put your partner's right palm with your right palm.
      E
(CA P PAT!) CA P PAT! take your hand back and clap! CA P! SA P!
     E
CA P PAT! Take your right arm, cross your right arm with your left arm,
      E
(CA P PAT!) Pat your partner's left palm with your left palm, SA P! HEY!
                 E
Peace in America.
                   E
Peace in the world.
