Over the weekend I watched the Ghostbusters ” Afterlife “and it was
THE BEE’S KNEES
Yes it was worth the wait ( I didn’t go to the theater to watch it because the Theatres where I live SUCK ) and yes I thought it was great storytelling and no I didn’t look for spoilers before I watched it.
So I was ready to love it and then there in the soundtrack was one of my FAVORITE songs- I actually used to skip rope to it with my friends, but that’s another story. When I heard this song I just KNEW I was going to have a good time and I did.
One more thing-
30 years later and Ernie Hudson- YOWZAH- I mean, there’s an interview with the original and cast from ” Afterlife” at the end of this post.
Three, six, nine, the goose drank wine
The monkey chewed tobacco on the streetcar line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
They all went to heaven in a little row-boat
Clap-Pat
Clap-Pat
Clap-Pat
Clap-Slap
Clap-Pat: Clap your hand, pat it on your partner’s hand (right hand)
Clap-Pat: Clap your hand, cross it with your left arm, pat your partner’s left palm
Clap-Pat: Clap your hand, pat your partner’s right palm with your right palm again
Clap-Slap: Clap your hands, slap your thighs, and sing a little song; go:
My mother told me
If I was good-ee
That she would buy me
A rubber dolly
My aunty told her
I kissed a soldier
Now she won’t buy me
A rubber dolly
