If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands (clap clap)
If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. (clap clap)
If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet (stomp stomp)
If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet (stomp stomp)
If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it, shout "Hurray!" (hoo-ray!)
If you're happy and you know it, shout "Hurray!" (hoo-ray!)
If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it, shout "Hurray!" (hoo-ray!)
If you're happy and you know it, do all three (clap-clap, stomp-stomp, hoo-ray!)
If you're happy and you know it, do all three (clap-clap, stomp-stomp, hoo-ray!)

The Fisher-Price song "If You're Happy and You Know It" is a cheerful and interactive children's tune that encourages kids to showcase their happiness by performing physical actions. The song starts with the phrase, "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands," which instructs listeners to respond by clapping their hands twice. The song then repeats the same pattern but with different actions, prompting the audience to stomp their feet and shout "Hurray!" When all three actions are combined, the listeners are encouraged to clap their hands, stomp their feet, and shout "Hurray!" to show that they are happy.
The repetition of the song allows children to easily learn the lyrics and actions. The song cleverly incorporates physical movements that promote gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination. The lyrics emphasize how happy feelings manifest physically and how they are easy to identify through facial expressions or physical reactions.
