Lyrics
“Everybody Tap”
Ev’rybody tap tap your feet
Very, very nifty and neat
Altogether tap tap, tap tap
Do the tap tap dance
Learn to beat a drum with your toes
And you can become one of those
Who can do a trick step, slick step
Come on and take a chance
The best folks, well-dressed folks
Wherever you go
Are hot for, guess what for?
That “off to Buffalo!”
Do a little clap to the beat
Add a little snap to your feet
Ev’rybody tap tap, tap tap
Do the tap tap dance
“Lucky Me – Lovable You”
Lucky me and lovable you
Aren’t we the happiest two?
I don’t deserve such wonderful bliss
I knock on wood and thank my lucky star for this
For who am I? Nobody at all
How and why did you ever fall?
Now I see dreams do come true
Lucky me to have lovable you
“Happy Days are Here Again”
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Altogether shout it now
There’s no one who can doubt it now
So let’s tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again
Your cares and troubles are gone
There’ll be no more from now on
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
