Background Info: Based on the circle hand-clapping rhyme game named "Stella Ella Ola" of possible Hispanic origins. Commonly played in North and Latin America. In this game players form a circle and place their left palm on top of the next player's right palm. The leader begins by slapping her left palm on her right-hand neighbour's left palm. This action is repeated around the circle with the aim of not getting your hand slapped at the end of the verse. 

Stella ella ola, clap, clap, clap,
Say yes, chicko, chicko, chicko, chicko, chak.
Say yes, chicko, chicko, allo, allo,
Allo, allo, allo.
Say 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
