Hi. One more version:
=======================
Klap eens in je handjes
Blij blij blij
Op je boze bolletje
Alle bij

Handjes in de hoogte,
Handjes in de zij,

Zo varen de scheepjes voorbij!

=======================
Well that's how I sing it...
sure there are many  versions!
And I'm not going to do the gestures...

Dag allemaal!

Dear Lowlanders,

while we're on the subject, here's a favourite Lower Saxon song of mine. The
tune is somewhat similar to that of "I once loved a lass, and I loved her so
well...", or "Birmingham Sunday".

Please forgive me if I don't always adhere to the "standard" spelling, which
I'm not very familiar with; I've never seen this written, and I may be a
little too influenced by Dutch spellings.

"Lütt Anna Susanna, sta up un böt't Vüür!
Nee, nee, min leef Moder, dat Holt is tau düür!
Fidirallalala, fidirallalala,
nee, nee, min leef Moder, dat Holt is tau düür.

So schrap mi den Graven un veeg mi dat Huus,
hüüt Awend kumt drie Junggesellen in't Huus.

Un wult sei nich kamen, so mööt wi jüm haaln,
met Peer un met Wagen, met Isen beslaagn.

Un künnt se nich danzen, so mööt wi't jüm leern,
wi mööt jüm de Tüffeln in Bodder umkeern!

Un künnt se nich küssen, so mööt wi't jüm leern,
wi mööt jüm dat Muulwark met Bodder insmeern!"

Gabriele,

So kenn ik dat:
1. Lütt Anna Susanna, stah op un bööt Füür!
    Och nee, mien leev Moder dat Holt ist to düür.
    Fide ral-la-la-la, fide ral-la-la-la,
    Och nee, mien leev Moder dat Holt ist to düür.

2. Denn schüür mi den Grapen und feeg mi dat Huus,
    Hüüt Avend kaamt hier noch dree Jungg'sellen in't Huus.
    Fide ral-la-la-la, fide ral-la-la-la,
    Hüüt Avend kaamt hier noch dree Jungg'sellen in't Huus.

3. Un wüllt se nich kamen, so wüllt wi jüm haaln,
    Mit Peer und mit Wagen, mit Isen beslaen.
    Fide ral-la-la-la, fide ral-la-la-la,
    Mit Peer und mit Wagen, mit Isen beslaen.

4. Un künnt se nich danzen, so wüllt wi't jüm lehrn,
    Wi wüllt jüm de Tüffeln in Bodder ümkehrn.
    Fide ral-la-la-la, fide ral-la-la-la,
    Wi wüllt jüm de Tüffeln in Bodder ümkehrn.
