"Clap Yo' Hands (Gershwin Country)" lyrics - MICHAEL FEINSTEIN

[Intro:]
Come on, you children, gather 'round
Gather 'round, you children

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 that hoodoo with the dance that you do

Let me lead the way, jubilee today, hey
He'll never hound you, stamp on the ground, you children
You children, come on

[Chorus:]
Clap-a yo' hands (Clap), slap-a yo' thigh (Slap)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Everybody come along and join the jubilee
Clap-a yo' hands (Clap), slap-a yo' thigh (Slap)
Don't you lose time, don't you lose time
Come along, it's shake yo' shoes time
Now for you and me

[Bridge:]
On the sands of time, you are only a pebble
Remember, trouble must be treated just like a rebel
Send him to the Debble

[Chorus:]
Clap-a yo' hands (Clap), slap-a yo' thigh (Slap)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Everybody come along and join the jubilee (Jubilee)

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge:]
On the sands of time, you are only a pebble
Remember, trouble must be treated just like a rebel
Send him to the Debble

[Chorus:]
Clap-a yo' hands (Clap), slap-a yo' thigh (Slap)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Everybody come along and join the jubilee
Clap-a yo' hands (Clap), slap-a yo' thigh (Slap)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Everybody come along and join the jubilee (Jubilee)
Let me lead the way, jubilee today
Come along and join the jubilee
