Verse:

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.
