CLAP HANDS, CLAP HANDS (TILL DADDY COMES HOME)
(Music: Charles Tobias / Lyrics: Nat Simon)


Al Donahue & His Orch. (vocal: Paula Kelly) - 1938



Clap hands, clap hands till Daddy Comes home
Daddy's got money and Mom'll have some
He's paid today when he gets through
The rent for us and a toy for you

Clap hands, clap hands till Daddy Comes home
Daddy's got money and Mom'll have some
The butcher, baker bills to pay
An extra five for a rainy day

Baby wants shoes (Clap your hands!)
Want a new dress (Clap your hands!)
You can stay up when dinner's through
We'll play records and we'll shake for you

Clap hands, clap hands till Daddy Comes home
Daddy's got money and Mom'll have some
Ev'ry night, my curly head
Will rockabye baby bun instead
Tonight we'll swing you off to bed
Clap hands, clap hands till Daddy Comes home
