If You're Happy and You Know It lyrics

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands.

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands.

If you're happy and you know it and you really want to show it,

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands.

If you're angry and you know it stamp your feet.

If you're angry and you know it stamp your feet.

If you're angry and you know it and you really want to show it,

If you're angry and you know it stamp your feet.

If you're sad and you know it have a cry.

If you're sad and you know it have a cry.

If you're sad and you know it and you really want to show it,

If you're sad and you know it have a cry.

If you're happy and you know it shout Hooray - 'Hooray'!

If you're happy and you know it shout Hooray - 'Hooray'!

If you're happy and you know it and you really want to show it,

If you're happy and you know it shout Hooray - 'Hooray'!
