Lyrics
(Folk song)
1. The monkey claps claps claps his hands (repeat)
Monkey see and monkey do.
The monkey does the same as you.
2. Oh, we can clap, clap, clap our hands…
We can see and we can do.
Oh we can clap the same as you.
3. Oh, we can tap, tap, tap our foot…
4. Oh, we can pat, pat, pat our head…
5. Oh, we can wink, wink, wink our eye…
Motions
One student is “It” and does motions. Other students copy the motions.
