"The Clapping Song" lyrics

369, 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 (peace in America)
Clap pat (peace to the world)
Clap pat
Clap, slap

My mother 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 (hey)

Clap clap (clap your hands and prepare the path)
Pat (take your right arm)
Clap (pat your partner's right palm with your right palm)
Pat
Clap
Pat
Clap
Slap

Take the pats of your palms
And slap your thighs
And watch the fun materialize
As you sing this little song

My mother 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 (hey)

369, 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 your hands and prepare to pat)
Clap clap
Clap pat
Clap, slap
Clap clap (take your right arm, and put your partner's)
Clap pat (right palm with your right palm)
Clap clap (take your right hand back and clap)
Clap, slap
Clap clap (take your right arm, cross your right arm)
Clap pat (with your left arm)
Clap clap (pat your partner's left palm with your left palm)
Slap (hey)

Peace in America
Peace in the World
