Bingo is an English language children's song of obscure origin.

:There was a farmer had a dog and Bingo was his name, oh! :B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, and Bingo was his name, oh!

The verse is normally sung six times. From the second to the sixth repetition, the participants substitute a successive number of hand-claps for each letter in the word "Bingo" as spelled out in the first. It's commonly used in primary education to illustrate rhythm theory, though it could also be used as a military cadence.

Note also that from the information in the song, it is not clearly stated whether Bingo was the name of the dog or of the farmer.
