SEE, SEE OH PLAYMATE

SEE, SEE OH PLAYMATE COME OUT AND PLAY WITH ME AND BRING YOUR
DOLLIES THREE, CLIMB UP MY APPLE TREE, SLIDE DOWN MY RAINBOW INTO
MY CELLAR DOOR AND WE'LL BE JOLLY FRIENDS FOREVER MORE 1,2,3,4.
THERE IS A CLAPPING MOTION THAT GOES ALONG WITH WITH THIS SONG
WHEN IT IS SUNG. TWO PEOPLE SIT FACING EACH OTHER SINGING AND
CLAPPING THEIR HANDS. THE FIRST STEP IS TO CLAP HANDS ON YOUR
LAP. NEXT CLAP YOUR HANDS TOGETHER. THEN CLAP YOUR RIGHT HAND
WITH THE OTHER PERSON'S RIGHT HAND. THEN CLAP YOUR LEFT HAND WITH
THE OTHER PERSON'S LEFT HAND AND START AGAIN. THIS PATTERN
CONTINUES ALL THROUGH THE SONG.
