The Clapping Song Lyrics

Chorus 1

3, 6, 9
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


Clap Pat - Clap Pat - Clap Pat - Clap Slap
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
Clap Pat! Clap your hand...
Pat your partner’s right palm
Clap Slap! Clap your hand...
Slap your thigh and sing a little song


Chorus 2


My mama told me if I was lucky
That she would treat me
If I was goody
My Aunty told her, I shoulda told her
No I'm not kidding
That's what she told her


3, 6, 9
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


Clap Clap!
Clap your hands and prepare to Pat
Take your right arm
Pat your partner’s palm with your right palm


Clap!
Take your hand back and clap
Clap!
Take your right arm
Cross your right arm with your left arm
Pat your partner’s left palm with your left palm
Clap!
Now back with a clap
Take your hand to your palm and slap your thigh
And watch the fun materialize
As you sing this little song:


Chorus 2


(whisper)
Chorus 1


Chorus 2 x2


That's what she told her
I don't believe It
Yeah right
Can you believe it?

this has to be the dumbest thing i have EVER read - i think its about getting claps

Cover art for The Clapping Song lyrics by Aaron Carter

I think this song is about Aaron's Aunt Patty getting an STD from a monkey. I think this shows some real maturity creeping into Aaron's songwriting, he uses some great imagery, and that thing about the goose is really subtle, very reminescent of Donne. Great use of onomatopoic expressions to convey the speaker's state-of-mind. The thing about the rowboat was just excessive hyperbole though, showing that Aaron still has a bit of a way to develop before he can achieve the literary profundity of such virtuosos of the ENglish language as, say, The Cheeky Girls.
