Clapping games!

[Scarlett]

Does anyone remember the words to any clapping games from their mis-spent youth?!

[natalie_1982]

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

Hehe hate to be the first one to answer this but still....

we used to (!) play a game where you sat in a circle with your right hand, palm up, on top of the person's hand on your right, and your left hand under the person's on your left. You went around the circle clapping thier right hand with yours singing something like...

"Down by the river where nobody goes, theres a great big [something] washing his clothes (or... picking his nose) with a scrub srcub (pick pick) here and a scrub scrub (") there..."

I dont remember the rest... but the person who's hand was hit at the end of the song was 'out' or had to do something horrid... muhahahaha x

Aw well I was first when I started typing =)

See, see my playmate, I cannot play with you
Because I've got the flu, Chicken pox and measles too
Slide down the drain pipe, And through the cellar door
And we'll be bestest friends, Forever More
1,2,3,4

[clairey-s]

PMSL @ wongwong

I didn't know boys played clapping games Dic Spot. I thought they were off torturing spiders and dissecting worms.

I am a pretty little dutch girl
as pretty as pretty can be
all the boys down my street
come chasing after me

my boyfriends name is fatty
he comes from scicilaty
with a pimp on his nose
and ten black toes
and this is how my story goes

and now my minds gone blank ! i cant remember the end!
maybe someone can help me?

[OBonio]

Ip dip dog sh*t, you are not it... used for team selection which I guess is the boys version of clapping games.

[sophie_1003]

we did- "my boyfriend gave me an apple, my boyfriend gave me a pear, my boyfriend gave me a kiss on the lips and threw me down the stairs,
Igave him back his apple, I gave him back his pear, I gave him back his kiss on the lips and threw him down the stairs,
I threw him over England, I threw him over France, I threw him over the football pitch and he lost his underpants,
His underpants were yellow, his underpants were green, his underpants were black and white and they were never seen,
My grandma went to England, my grandma went to France, my grandma went to the football pitch and found his underpants!
I took him to the sweet shop to buy some bubblegum, and when he wasn't looking I stuck it up his bum
I took him to the drink shop to buy a can of coke, and when he wasn't looking I kissed another bloke!"
sure there was more along the same lines as the last two bits but cant remember them!

end of the dutch girl

One day when I was walking,
I heard my boyfriend talking
To a pretty little girl
With a strawberry curl,
And this is what he said to her

I L-O-V-E Love you
I K-I-S-S Kiss you
I K-I-S-S Kiss you
On your F-A-C-E
Face face face!


So I said to him
I H-A-T-E hate you
I K-I-L-L kill you
I K-I-L-L kill you
on your F-A-C-E
Face face face



Hows about 3-6-9 many version of this but the most played by us was....

Three-six-nine
The goose drank wine
the monkey chewed tobacco
'long down by the county line
The line was crossed
The goose was tossed
The goose's friend, the monkey, bossed
The goose was plucked
The monkey f***ed
And they all went to heaven
With a little rubber duck.

[jacey]

My mother told me
If I was goody
That she would buy me
A rubber dolly
My aunty told her
I kissed a soldier
Now she wont buy me
That rubber dollie

369

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? 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? 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:

Etc. :-)

[jacey]

Oops crossed there GS :-)

I went to the chinese chip shop to buy loaf of bread bread bread
He tied it up in a five pound note and this is what he said said said
My name is Andy Pandy sugar and candy
The boys go (the a gesture of flexing the arm muscles)
and the girls go woooooooo! (combined with a gesture of lifting the skirt a tiny bit and kicking the leg out)

This rhyme always makes me laugh, itmakes no sense whatsoever!!!
