Clapping Song

{transcribed by Lidwien Engel-Ligtvoet, 10-08-2013}

Oh
Three-six-nine
the goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco
on the street car line
The line broke
the monkey got choked
and they all went to heaven
in a little row boat
Clap pat, clap pat,
slap 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
with your right palm again
Clap slap, clap your hand
Slap your thighs
and sing a little song, go
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

Oh
Three-six-nine
the goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco
on the street car line
The line broke
the monkey got choked
and they all went to heaven
in a little row boat
Clap clap, clap your hands
and prepare to pat
clap take your right arm,
pat your partner's right palm
clap with your right palm
Clap, take your hand back
and clap clap
Clap, take your right arm,
cross your right arm
with your left arm clap
Pat your partner's left palm
with your left palm
Clap, take your hands back
and clap
Clap, take your right arm,
cross your left arm
Pat your partner's left palm
with your right palm
Clap, now back and clap,
clap
Slap,
take the pats of your palms
and slap your thighs
and watch the fun materialize
as you sing this little song
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

Oh,
clap,
slap, slap,
slap, slap,
clap, slap,
clap
slap, slap,
slap, slap,
Oh,
slap, slap,
slap, slap,
clap, slap,
clap
slap, slap,
slap, slap,
Oh,
