"The Clapping Song" lyrics - ROGER TAYLOR

3, 6, 9
The goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco
On the streetcar line
The line broke
The monkey got choked
They all went to heaven
In a little row-boat

[Chorus 1:]
Clap-Pat
- Peace in America!
Clap pat
- Peace to the world!
Clap-Pat
Clap;
Slap

My mother told me
If I was good
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
Hands!

[Chorus 2:]
Clap-clap
- Clap your hands and prepare to pat
Pat
- Take your right arm
Clap
- Take your partner's right palm with your right palm
Pat
Clap
Pat
Clap;
Slap

[Bridge:]
Take the pats of your palms
And slap with your thighs
And watch the fun materialize
As you sing this little song

[Verses 2 repeat:]
My mother told me
If I was good
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!
[Verse 1 repeat:]
3-6-9
The goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco
On the streetcar line
The line broke
The monkey got choked
They all went to heaven
In a little row-boat

[Chorus 3:]
Clap-pat
- Clap your hands and prepare to pat
Clap-pat
Clap-pat
Clap;
Slap

[Chorus 4:]
(Clap-pat)
Take your right arm
Put your partner's right palm
(Clap-pat)
With your right palm;
(Clap-pat)
Take your right-hand back
And clap
Clap;
Slap

[Chorus 5:]
(Clap-pat)
Take your right arm
Cross your right arm
(Clap-pat)
With your left arm
(Clap-pat)
Catch your partner's left palm
With your left palm
Slap
Hey!

Peace in America
Peace to the world
