Does anyone remember this one?
Have you ever, ever, ever in your long legged life
Seen a long legged sailor with a long legged wife?
No, I never, never, never in my long legged life
Saw a long legged sailor with a long legged wife.

The second verse began with:
Have you ever, ever, ever in your short-legged life seen a short legged sailor with a long legged wife…and so on…

The third verse:
Have you ever, ever, ever in your bow-legged life seen a bow-legged sailor with a bow-legged wife…

The last verse:
Have you ever, ever, ever in your long-legged, short-legged, bow-legged life seen a long-legged, short-legged, bow-legged sailor with…well, you get the idea.

With each verse in the clapping game, you had to move your hands in a certain way that corresponded with the “long-legged”, “short-legged” “bow-legged” parts of the rhyme… and there’s no way I could possibly describe it here! 🙂
