Clap Yo' Hands Lyrics

George Gershwin Clap Yo' Hands

(Verse)
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
He'll never hound you
Stamp on the ground, you
Children

(Chorus)
Clap-a yo' hands, slap-a yo' thigh
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Everybody come along and join the jubilee

Clap-a yo' hands, 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' hands, slap-a yo' thigh
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Everybody come along and join the jubilee
