Clap Yo' Hands
(Gershwin)
Come on, you children, gather around -
Gather around, you children.
And we will lose that evil spirit
Called the Voodoo.
Nothin' but trouble, if he has
found,
If he has found you, children -
But you can chase the Hoodoo
With the dance that you do.
Let me lead the way.
Jubilee today! Say!
He'll never hound you:
Stamp on the ground, you children!
Come on!
Refrain:
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 Debbie!
Clap-a yo' hand! Slap-a yo' thigh!
Halleluyah! Halleluyah!
Ev'rybody come along and join the Jubilee.
