[English]

Aha ah

Three, six, nine, the goose drank wine

The monkey chewed 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, snap

Clap, pat

Clap, snap

Clap, clap

Everybody dance to the music

Right hang

...

(C'mon)

...

(C'mon)

(Du, du, du, du, du, du)

Three, six, nine, the goose drank wine

The monkey chewed 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, snap

Clap, pat

Clap, snap

Clap, clap

Everybody dance to the music

Ok, haha

Mama told me (My mama told me)

(Nothin' on me, nothin' on me)

She can't control me (She can't control me, oh, oh)

(Nothin' on me, nothin' on me, hey)

Hey, hey, hey (Hey)

Three, six, nine, the goose drank wine

The monkey chewed 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, snap (Clap)

Clap, clap (Clap)

Clap, snap (Clap)

Clap, clap

Clap your hands and dance to the music

Yeah

(C'mon)

Hey
