Lyrics

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.
