Lyrics The Clapping Song - Roger Taylor

The goose drank wine.
The monkey chewed tobacco in 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!

My mother told me, if I was goody.
That she would by me, a rubber dolly.
My auntie told her, I kissed a soldier,
Now she won′t buy me a rubber dolly.

HEY!
Clap, Clap.
Clap your hands and prepare to pat, PAT!
Take your right arm, CLAP!
Put 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 by me, a rubber dolly.
My auntie told her, I kissed a soldier,
Now she won′t buy me a rubber dolly.

HEY!

The goose drank wine.
The monkey chewed tobacco in the streetcar line.
The line broke, the monkey got choked.
And they all went to heaven in a little rowboat.

Clap your hands and prepare to pat - PAT!
CLAP PAT! CLAP SLAP!
CLAP PAT!
Put your partner's right palm with your right palm.
(CLAP PAT!)
CLAP PAT!
Take your hand back and clap! CLAP! SLAP!
CLAP PAT! Take your right arm, cross your
Right arm with your left arm,
(CLAP PAT!)
Pat your partner's left palm with your left palm, SLAP! HEY!

Peace in America.
Peace in the world.
