Hand Clapping Rhymes.
Elizabeth J Scherrer
I'm still looking for the rhymes that kids used to say while clapping
their hands together.
....Went upstairs, said my prayers, came back down with Yogi Bear.
Gonna Beebop, bop, bop, bop.......
Anybody remember doing these things????

Miss Mary had a steamboat ,
the steamboat had a bell.
Miss Mary went to heaven,
the bell went to hell-
o operator,

and if you disconnect me,
I'll kick you in the be-
hind the refridgerator,
there was a piece of glass.
Miss Mary sat upon it,
and cut her little as-

Miss Mary told me all of this,
the day before she died.
I just taught this to my 9 and 7 year old daughters!!

We had a similar one. You have to run the lines together a bit. It went
like this:
Three Irishmen, three Irishmen
digging in a ditch,
One called the other
a dirty son-of-a
Peter Murphy had a dog
a dirty dog was he
He gave it to his neighbor
to keep her company
All day, all night
sitting on a rock,
Along came a bumble-bee
and stung him on his
Cocktail, ginger-ale
five cents a glass
If you do not like it,
shove it up your
Ask me no more questions,
I'll tell you no more lies,
If you're gonna get hit by a bucket of sh*t
be sure and close your eyes.

There was one we used to do
Czechoslovakia, boom-de-boom.
Yugoslavia, boom de boom.
Let's get the rhythm of the hips, 123 (wiggle hip)
we got the rhythm of the hips 123
let's get the rhythm of the feet 123 (stamp feet)
Let's get the rhythm of the eyes, WHEEE!
We got the rhythm of the eyes wheeee!
and there was another one:
Our hearts go bang bang together, tie them together, bring back my love
to me.
What is the meaning of all these flowers? They tell the story of love
from me to you!

Here's one I posted awhile ago to jump rope songs, but I believe it is a
hand-clapping rhyme:
iny miny pepsideny ooh pop pop ediny education liberation I love you tutti
frutti
down down down down the road, sweet sweet baby, no place to go.
shamrock, shamrock sham sham shamrock
caught you with your girlfriend naughty naughty
stole a piece of candy greedy greedy
won't wash the dishes lazy lazy
jump out the window crazy crazy
iny miny pepsideny ooh pop pop ediny education liberation I love you tutti
frutti
NanC
Put another nickle in
In the nickleodeon
All I want is loving you
And music music music
Come closer,
My dear come closer
Put your lips next to mine,
Then we'll live by the (valentine?)
Old Mary Mack Mack Mack
All dressed in black black black
With silver buttons button buttons
All down her back back back.....

What about:
A sailor went to sea-sea-sea
To see what he could see-see-see
But all that he could see-see-see
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea-sea-sea
Remember the Eeeny-meeny-miney-mo type rhymes?
My mother and your mother were hanging out clothes
My mother gave your mother a punch in the nose
What colour was the blood?
Red [or whatever colour the other person chose]
R-E-D spells red and out goes Y-O-U!

Did you ever hear the tacked-on ending I learned? The last verse was
changed to "Tell me what Miss Mary did the day before she died" and
appended was:
"She ate...
Greasy grimy gopher guts (3x)
Without any SPOOOOON!"

Does anyone remember this little ditty (not exactly a hand-clapper, but...)
Spider-man, Spider-man
Came from Mars in a garbage can
Is he strong? No he's not
He's got radioactive snot
BEWARE!!!...here comes the Spider Man
There was more but I forget it. Does anyone remember the other verses?

Reminds me of one we used to sing:
I'm Popeye the sailor man!
I live in a frying pan!
I turned on the gas and I burned off my a**,
I'm Popeyes the sailor man! Toot toot!

We would sing:
I'm Popeye the sailor man
I live in a garbage can
I love to go swimmin'
With bare naked women
I'm Popeye the sailor man (toot toot!)

Here's a little parody we used to sing (has a few explicit words not for
kiddies):
Let me tell you a story about a man named Jed
Poor mountianeer barely kept his family fed
then one day he was shooting at some food,
and up from the ground came Farrah Fawcett nude
Naked that is, no clothes on.
First thing you know old Jed was over there sucking on her tit and pulling
on her hair. Here comes Granny with a big long stick, beating the hell out
of Jed's big Di??.

I remember a couple from kiddie-hood that the neighborhood girls used to
sing/chant while doing that hand clapping thing.....
Chicka chicka China
Sitting on a fence
Trying to make a dollar
Out of 75 cents.....
Hey hey get out of my way
I just got back from the USA
In the land of Oz
Where the Women smoke Cigars
You can huff and puff
It's enought to kill a snake.
When the snake is dead
you put roses in his head.
When the roses die,
you put diamonds in his eyes
When the diamonds break,
you put snakey in a cake.
When the cake is done
you put his wiener on a bun.
You Ate his wiener up,
put his wee wee in a cup.
Then you asked for more
I'm afraid you're just too poor.
Girls can be sooooo catty!

Okay, here's another:
There's a place in France
Where the men they wear no pants
Theres a hole in the wall where
(Insert your name here) can see it all.
OR:
There's a place in France
Where they little frenchmen dance,
One wouldn't dance
So they kicked him in the pants
The pants that he wore
cost a dollar forty four
Plus tax.

>What is the meaning of all these flowers? They tell the story of love
>from me to you!
We called this "The Spades" and it went something like:
The spades go two lips together, blood in the gutter, bring back my love
to me.
What is the meaning, of all these flowers? The tell the story, the story
of love from me to you, cha cha cha!
Also, here is how my kids sing the Miss Lucy thing these days. It's an
expanded version of the one I knew as a kid.
Miss Lucy had a steamboat
The steamboat had a bell
Miss Lucy went to heaven and the steamboat went to
Hello operator, please give me number nine,
And if you disconnect me I will kick you right
Behind the 'frigerator, there lay a piece of glass.
Miss Lucy slipped upon it and she broke her little
Ask me no more questions
I'll tell you no more lies
Miss Lucy told me all of this the day before she
Dyed her hair all purple
She dyed her hair all pink
She dyed her hair all polka-dot and washed it down the
Sink me in the ocean,
Sink me in the sea.
Sink me in the toilet,
But please don't pee on me!
Funny how stuff changes with generations, but so much of it remains the
same!
