Lyrics
When you find that your mind
Keeps you worried and blue
You can always let your feet
Keep your disposition sweet
Want to see what makes me
Feel the way I do?
Will you kindly cast an eye
On two good reasons why?
Chorus
Happy feet! I’ve got those happy feet
Give them a lowdown beat
And they begin dancing
I’ve got those ten little tapping toes
And when they hear a tune, I can’t control
My dancing heels to save my soul
Weary blues can’t get into my shoes
Because my shoes refuse to ever grow weary
I keep cheerful on an earful of music sweet
‘Cause I’ve got hap-hap-happy feet
