Clapping Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Thr[A]ee,
[D]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 row boat

[Verse 2]
Clap- [D]pat, clap- pat
Clap- pat, clap- slap

[Verse 3]
Clap- [D]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

[Verse 4]
My mama [D]told me if I was goody
That she would buy me a rubber dolly
My Aunty told her I kissed a soldier

[Verse 5]
Now she won't buy me a rubber dolly
[D]Three, six, nine,
the goose drank wine
The monkey chew tobacco
on the streetcar line
The line broke,
the monkey got choked
And they [A]all went to heaven
in a little row boat
Clap- [D]pat Clap your hands and prepare

[Verse 6]
[D]
to pat
Take your right arm
Pat your partners right palm
with your right [A]palm
[D]Take your hand back and clap
(clap!)
Take your right arm Cross your right arm

[Verse 7]
[D]with your partner's
left arm
Pat your partner's left palm
with your left [A]palm[D]
Now back with a clap
[A][D][A][D]

[Verse 8]
Take the pats of your [C]palms
and [D]slap your thighs
[C]And watch the fun materialize
as you sing this little song
My [D]mama

[Verse 9]
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

[Verse 10]
a rubber dolly
[D]Three, six, [A]nine, [D]the goose drank wine
The monkey chew tobacco
on the streetcar line
The line broke,
the monkey got [C]choked
And they all went to [D]heaven
in a little row boat

[Verse 11]
Clap- [D]pat, clap- pat
Clap- pat, clap- slap
Clap- pat, clap- pat
Clap- pat, clap- slap

[Verse 12]
My mama [D]told [C]me if [D]I was g[C]oody
That [D]she would buy me
[Am]a rubb[D]er dolly[C]
[Dm]My Aunty[D] told her I kissed a soldier
Now she won't buy me a rubber dolly

[Verse 13]
My mama [D]told me if I was goody
That she would buy me a rubber dolly
My Aunty told her I kissed a soldier
