The Clapping Song for the NHS - Words and Music © 2020 K.M.Brierley & A.T.Peddie
From an idea by Phil MacDougal, Based on "The Clapping Song" by Shirley Ellis
Three six nine, we’re on the frontline
Caring for the patients ‘til they’re feeling fine
Working our shifts, never gonna quit
Singing this song ‘til we make it a hit
Clap clap, clap clap, clap clap, clap, clap
Clap clap, clap your hands, standing at your open door (right now)
Clap clap, clap your hands, always on a Thursday (never on a Friday)
Clap clap, clap your hands, join in with the neighbours (when it strikes eight o’clock).
Clap clap, clap your hands, ring those bells and sing this little song now
The country gave us, some rules to save us
So we don’t catch this Corona Virus
We are on Lockdown, the place a ghost town
To keep us safe from Corona Virus.
Three six nine, we’re on the frontline
Caring for the patients ‘til they’re feeling fine
Working our shifts, never gonna quit
Singing this song ‘til we make it a hit
Clap clap, clap your hands for the NHS
Clap, take your hope and your pride, keeping your heads held high
Take your hands back and clap
Clap, take your feelings of fear and keep pushing them from your minds
Take your hands back and clap
Clap, keep your loved ones and family closer to your hearts
Clap, now back with the clap
Clap, take the NHS, who are the best and watch the virus lose its quest
As you sing this little song
The country gave us, some rules to save us
So we don’t catch this Corona Virus
We are on Lockdown, the place a ghost town
To keep us safe from Corona Virus.
Clap, clap clap, clap clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap clap, clap clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap clap, clap clap, clap, clap
Clap, clap clap, clap clap, clap, clap
