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 partners hand... right hand
Clap Pat! Clap your hand...
Cross it with your left arm
Pat your partners left palm
Clap Pat! Clap your hand...
Pat your partners right palm
Clap Slap! Clap your hand...
Slap your thigh and sing a little song
My mama 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
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 partners palm with your right palm
Take your hand back and clap
Clap!
Take your right arm
Cross your right arm with your partner's left arm
Pat your partners left palm with your left palm
Now back with a clap
Take the pats of your palms and slap your thighs
And watch the fun materialize
As you sing this little song
