The Clapping Song

E


[Verse]

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.


[Chorus]

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


[Bridge]

          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!

[Chorus 2]

     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!


[Verse 2]

          E
Take the pats of your palms, and 
slap your thighs,

And watch the fun materialize, as 
you sing this little song.


[Bridge 2]

          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
3,6,9 the goose drank wine the
