I remember it was in the 'top hundred' (?) about 40 years ago - and I actually remembered the words of this version correctly. https://www.mamalisa.com/?t=es&p=3149
Three, Six, Nine, The Goose Drank Wine
Hand Clapping Rhyme
Three, six, nine, the goose drank wine.
The monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line.
The line broke
The monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little row boat!
