The Clapping Song
Barney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is a song and a clapping game
It's so much fun to play
You can do with a group
You can do it by yourself
You can do it 'most everyday

Just listen now
I got it

The good thing about this clapping
Is that the rhythm will never, never change
But the things we're about to clap on
May seem a little strange

On your tummy now
On your shoulders
On your knees now
On your hips now

Here is the end of the clapping song
It's sung in many lines
Just to make us feel good and the very last time
Everybody claps with your hands

Here we go now




For the last time
Yeah
