The Clapping Song Lyrics

Bridge: 
3, 6, 9 
The goose drank wine 
The monkey chewed 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'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 
Clap Slap! Clap your hand... 
Slap your thigh and sing a little song 

Chorus: 
My mama told me if I was lucky 
That she would treat me 
If I was goody 
My Aunty told her, I should act olderBR> No I'm not kidding 
That's what she told her 

3, 6, 9 
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 
Take your right arm 
Pat your partner's 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! 
Now back with a clap 
Take your hand to your palm and slap your thigh 
And watch the fun materialize 
As you sing this little song: 

(Chorus) 

[whisper] 

(Bridge) 

(Chorus x2) 

That's what she told her 
I don't believe It 
Yeah right 
Can you believe it? 

(Bridge)
