Hey kids
Let's play a game huh
Just follow along with me

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 wanna show it
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands

You got it
Okay, let's keep going

If you're happy and you know it, shout "Hurray!" (hurray!)
If you're happy and you know it, shout "Hurray!" (hurray!)
If you're happy and you know it, and you really wanna show it
If you're happy and you know it, shout "Hurray!" (hurray!)

If you're happy and you know it, turn around
If you're happy and you know it, turn around
If you're happy and you know it, and you really wanna show it
If you're happy and you know it, turn around

If you're happy and you know it, touch your toes
If you're happy and you know it, touch your toes
If you're happy and you know it, and you really wanna show it
If you're happy and you know it, touch your toes

Wait a minute Big Bird
That is not how that song goes

What do you mean Oscar?

Just watch and listen
Come on kids

If you're grouchy and you know it, just say yuck (yuck)
If you're grouchy and you know it, just say yuck (yuck)
If you're grouchy and you know it, and you really wanna show it
If you're grouchy and you know it, just say yuck (yuck)

That's more like it

If you're grouchy and you know it, stomp your feet
If you're grouchy and you know it, stomp your feet
If you're grouchy and you know it, and you really wanna show it
If you're grouchy and you know it, stomp your feet

That's not it Oscar

Hey let's get happy again kids (okay)

If you're happy and you know it, say "I am" (I am)
If you're grouchy and you know it, say "You're not" (I'm not)
If you're happy and you know it, and you really wanna show it
If you're happy and you know it, say "I am" (I am)

If you're grouchy and you know it, and you really wanna show it
If you're grouchy and you know it, just say yuck (yuck)

If you're happy you should show it
If you're grouchy let me know it
If you're happy and you know it, say "I am"

Say "I am" (I am)

Say "Yuck" (Yuck)

Say "I am" (I am)

Say "Yuck" (Yuck)

Say "I am"

Yuck

Say "I am"

Yuck

Yuck





I am

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "You Know" by Raving George feat. Oscar And The Wolf present a playful take on the classic children's song, "If You're Happy and You Know It." At the beginning of the song, the singers invite listeners to join in a game in which they follow along and perform different actions to express their moods. The actions include clapping hands, shouting "Hurray!", turning around, and touching toes. However, as the song progresses, Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street interrupts the game and introduces a new twist to the lyrics. He suggests that if someone is feeling grouchy, they should say "Yuck" or stomp their feet instead of doing the happy actions. The song concludes by returning to the original lyrics but incorporates the option for the listener to be either happy or grouchy, and express their mood with the phrases "I am" or "yuck."


The song can be seen as a lighthearted commentary on the societal pressure to constantly present a happy and positive facade, even when not feeling that way. By including the option to be grouchy and express it, the song encourages listeners to acknowledge and embrace their emotions, regardless of what society might expect of them.

You're mine you're mine you're mine
You're mine you're mine you're mine you're mine
You're mine you're mine you're mine
You're mine you're mine you're mine
And it's 'cause you're mine

So long
Someone stole a diamond
And it's 'cause you're mine
Your only
Drag me into the night

And it's 'cause you're mine
You’re lonely
Sending a mayday
And it's 'cause you're mine
So rise it
I lost you'll be alright

'Cause you're my babe, call me babe
I know that now you should better fall
You shoot me high, call me fly
Keep on pushing but you better don't

It's what I thought, call me babe
Hush it now cross my name and die
Honours in the flame, don't deny
So decide whether you want more

[Chorus:]
And it's 'cause you're mine
And it's 'cause you're mine
Oh it's 'cause you're mine
Oh it's 'cause you're mine

And it's 'cause you're mine

And it's 'cause you're mine
Someone stole a diamond

You're lonely
Sending a mayday

'Cause you're my babe, call me babe
I know that now you should better fall
You shoot me high, call me fly
Keep on pushing but you better don't

[Chorus 2x]

And it's 'cause you're mine
(You're mine, you're mine, you're mine)
(You're mine, you're mine, you're mine, you're mine)
(You're mine, you're mine, you're mine)
(You're mine, you're mine, you're mine)
And it's 'cause you're mine

So lie
Someone is still a diamond
And it's 'cause you're mine
You want me
Drag me into the night
And it's 'cause you're mine
You're lonely
Sending a mayday
And it's 'cause you're mine
So rise it
I lost you'll be alright

'Cause you may blame, on me babe
I know that now you should better fall
You shoot me high, call me fly
Keep on pushing but you better don't

It's what I thought, call me babe
Hush it now cross my name and die
Honors in the flame burn me now
So decide whether you want more

And it's 'cause you're mine
And it's 'cause you're mine
Oh it's 'cause you're mine
Oh it's 'cause you're mine
And it's 'cause you're mine

And it's 'cause you're mine

Someone is still a diamond
You're lonely
