Hello Everybody,

Can anyone tell me the words to the song

"klapjes in je handjes."

I think the song is in Dutch, but if the song exists in any other languages,
particulary Westlauwers Frisian, I would appreciate them too.  If my memory
serves me correctly, this is a song sung to young children while holding
their hands (one in each of the singer's hands) and clapping them together
along with the song.  There may be other actions, too, that I don't
remember, in which case, can you tell me about those too?

Randy Elzinga.

ps. If anyone knows the tune, could they transcribe it for me in ABC format
(a musical notation system using ascii text, easier to learn than html, see
http://www.gre.ac.uk/~c.walshaw/abc/ if interested), or some other computer
readable format(eg. a scanned image in jpeg, gif, bitmap, etc. format, or
midi), and send it to me personally at frisiancow at hotmail.com.
