"Handclapping Song" lyrics - THE METERS

Clap your hands now; people clap now.
Clap your hands now; people clap your hands.
Clap your hands now; people clap now.
Clap your hands now; people clap your hands.
Clap your hands now; people clap now.
Clap your hands now; people clap your hands.
Clap your hands now; people clap now.
Clap your hands now; people clap your hands.

A little softer; people get softer.
A little softer; people get down and low.
A little softer; people get softer.
A little softer; people get down and low.

A little louder; people get louder.
A little louder; people get louder.
A little louder; people get louder.
A little louder; people get louder.

We gonna let our guitar man
Go thorough his pace
Listen to the thing ya'll
Listen...

[Ad lib with guitar]

Clap your hands now; people clap now.
Clap your hands now; people clap your hands.
Clap your hands now; people clap now.
Clap your hands now; people clap your hands.
Clap your hands now; people clap now.
Clap your hands now; people clap your hands.
Clap your hands now; people clap now.
Clap your hands now; people clap your hands.
