If You're Happy and You Know It Lyrics

If you're happy and you know it
Clap your hands
(Clap hands twice)
If you're happy and you know it
Clap your hands
(Clap hands twice)
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 hands twice)

If you're happy and you know it
Stomp your feet
(Stomp feet twice)
If you're happy and you know it
Stomp your feet
(Stomp feet twice)
If you're happy and you know it
Then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it
Stomp your feet
(Stomp feet twice)

If you're happy and you know it
Do all three
(Clap hands twice, stomp feet twice
then shout "Hurray!")
If you're happy and you know it
Do all three
(Clap hands twice, stomp feet twice
then shout "Hurray!")
If you're happy and you know it
Then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it
Do all three

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

GREAT song, and not just for children! How can anyone listen to this song and not want to clap along. First heard it while enrolled at a Prespyterian (sp?) or Baptist bible camp called Pioneer Girls. Wasn't a member of either faith so all the singing and swaying REALLY had an impact. There's something to be said for good and simple spirituals...
