Clap Yo' Hands                                                George and Ira Gershwin (From Oh, Kay!, 1926)

Clap-a yo' hand! Slap-a yo' thigh!
Halleluyah! Halleluyah! Ev'rybody come along and join the jubilee!
Clap-a yo' hand! Slap-a yo' thigh!
Don't you lose time, don't you lose time,
Come along, it's shake yo' shoes time now for you and me!

On the sands of time you are only a pebble;
Remember, trouble must be treated just like a rebel,
Send him to the debble!

Clap-a yo' hand! Slap-a yo' thigh!
Halleluyah! Halleluyah! Ev'rybody come along and join the jubilee!
