HAND CLAPPING GAME

I DON'T WANT TO GO TO MEXICO
NO MORE, MORE, MORE,
THERE'S A BIG FAT POLICEMAN
AT MY DOOR, DOOR, DOOR.
HE'LL GRAB YOU BY THE COLLAR
HE'LL MAKE YOU PAY A DOLLAR
I DON'T WANT TO GO TO MEXICO
NO MORE, MORE, MORE.

Submitter comment: THE TUNE OF THE SONG GOES
ALONG WITH THE RHYTHM OF
THE HAND CLAPPING. THE FASTER
YOU CLAP YOUR HANDS THE FASTER THE TUNE GOES.
