Lyrics of The Clapping Song (Clap Pat Clap Slap) - Single Version by Shirley Ellis
verse
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 rowboat
verse
Clap-pat, clap-pat, clap-pat, clap-slap
verse
(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
pre-chorus
(Clap-pat) Clap your hand
Pat your partner's right palm with your right palm again
(Clap-slap) Clap your hand, slap your thigh
And sing a little song, go
chorus
My mother told me
If I was goody
That she would buy me
A rubber dolly
chorus
My auntie told her
I kissed a soldier
Now she won't buy me
A rubber dolly
verse
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 rowboat
verse
(Clap-clap) Clap your hands and prepare to pat
(Clap) Take your right arm, pat your partner's right palm with your right palm
(Clap) Take your hand back and clap
(Pat) Take your right arm, cross your right arm with your left arm
Pat your partner's left palm with your left palm
pre-chorus
(Clap) Take your hand back and clap
(Pat) Take your right arm, cross your left arm
Pat your partner's right palm with your right palm
(Clap) Now back with a clap
(Slap) Take the pats of your palms and slap your thighs and watch the fun materialize
As you sing this little song
chorus
My mother told me
If I was goody
That she would buy me
A rubber dolly
chorus
My auntie told her
I kissed a soldier
Now she won't buy me
A rubber dolly
outro
Clap-pat, clap-pat
Clap-pat, clap-slap
Clap-pat, clap-pat
Clap-pat, clap-slap
