the monkey chewed tobacco
on a streetcar line, the line broke,
and they all went to heaven
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap,
Your hands put in your partner's hand
Clap, clap, clap, your hands
Crossing with your left arm
Pat your partner's left palm
Pat your partner's right palm
Pat your right palm again
Clap your thigh and sing this little song
My mama told me, if I was goody
That she would buy me, a rubber dolly
My auntie told her, I kissed a soldier
Now she won't buy me, a rubber dolly
The monkey chewed tobacco
And they all went to heaven
Clap, clap, clap your hands
Clap, take your right arm,
pat your partner's right palm
Clap, take your hand back
Clap, take your right arm,
pat your partner's right arm
pat your partner's left palm
Clap, now back, with a clap
Take the flap to your palms
Watch your bum materialize
as you sing this little song
My mama told me if I was goody
That she would buy me a rubber dolly
My auntie told her, I kissed a soldier
Now she won't fire me, a rubber dolly
My mama told me, if I was goody
That she would fire me, a rubber dolly
My auntie told her, I kissed a soldier
Clap, clap, she won by me, clap, clap,
a rug like barley, clap, clap
the monkey chewed tobacco
Line broke, monkey got choked
and they all went to heaven
