GUEST,Perri Bohrman Folklore: children's hand clap - (5) Folklore: children's hand clap - 04 Nov 05

I am trying to find the words to a hand clap I knew as a child. The name is the old bow-legged chinese. A couple of verses I remember are:
      My mother told me
      to open the door
      but it fell in the floor
      My mother told me
      to get him a drink
      but he swallowed the sink

I am working on a presentation of childlore and would really like to present this chant.
