I Went Downtown
Hand Clapping Rhyme
1. I went downtown,
To see Mrs. Brown*.
She gave me a nickel,
To buy me a pickle.
The pickle was sour,
So she gave me a flower
The flower was dead
So this is what she said…
2. Icky icky soda pop
Icky icky you
Icky icky soda pop
He likes you!
Notes
* or "Charlie Brown"
Alternate Verse 2:
Down, down baby,
Do the roller coaster.
Sweet, sweet honey
Just because I kissed you
Doesn't mean I love you
Shimmy, shimmy, coco-pops
Show off your body (pose)
And freeze!

Here's another version with the alternate 2nd verse from the Song Notes…
1. I went downtown,
To see Charlie Brown.
He gave me a nickel,
To buy a pickle.
The pickle was sour,
So I bought a flower
The flower was dead
So I just said…
2. Down, down baby,
Do the roller coaster.
Sweet, sweet honey
Just because I kissed you
Doesn't mean I love you
Shimmy, shimmy, coco-pops
Show off your body (pose)
And freeze!
