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

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, 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"

The lyrics of this song by Scarub feat. The Grouch are a playful spin on the classic children's nursery rhyme "If You're Happy and You Know It." The song starts off like the traditional version with the instructions to clap your hands if you're happy, but quickly takes a turn as the grouchy character Oscar appears and tries to change the words to fit his mood. However, the other characters and even the audience reject his negative attitude and eventually return to the positive message of the original song.
Throughout the song, Scarub and The Grouch use the simple lyrics to convey a deeper message about the importance of choosing a positive attitude and how it can have an impact on those around you. Despite Oscar's attempts to spread his negativity, the other characters refuse to let it bring them down and instead encourage him to join in their happiness.
Overall, the lyrics of this song are a playful and insightful reminder of the power of a positive attitude and the importance of spreading joy to those around you.
