Where did the clapping song come from?

Background. The song was released shortly after Ellis had released "The Name Game". "The Clapping Song" incorporates lyrics from the song "Little Rubber Dolly", a 1930s song recorded by the Light Crust Doughboys , and also features instructions for a clapping game.

When Susie was a baby song lyrics?

Suzie had a baby, she called him Tiny Tim. She put him in the bath-tub to see if he could swim. He drank up all the water, he ate up all the soap. He tried to eat the bath-tub but it wouldn't go down his throat.

What does the clapping represent?

Humans clap with the palms of their hands, often quickly and repeatedly to express appreciation or approval (see applause), but also in rhythm as a form of body percussion to match the sounds in music, dance, chants, hand games, and clapping games.

What was the original reason for clapping?

Applause, in the ancient world, was acclamation. But it was also communication. It was, in its way, power. It was a way for frail little humans to recreate, through hands made "thunderous," the rumbles and smashes of nature .

Pat it on your partner's hand . . . Right hand.
Clap Pat! Clap your hand
cross it with your left arm

Pat your partner's leff 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.

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.
Three-six-nine
the goose drank wine
. . .
Clap Clap! Clap your hands and prepare to pat
Pat! Take your right arm

Put your partner's right palm with your right palm.
Clap ! Take your hand back and clap. Pat! Take your right arm

Cross your right ann with your left arm

Pat your partner's leff palm with your left palm.
Clap! Now back with a clap
Slap - Take the pats of your palms and slap your thighs

And watch the fun materialize
