Happy Feet

1930 by Milton Ager / lyrics by Jack Yellen

Happy feet, I’ve got those happy feet
Give them a low down 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

When you find that your mind
Keeps you worried and blue
You can always let your feet
Keep your disposition sweet

I want to see what makes me
Feel the way I do
Will you kindly cast an eye
On two good reasons why
Happy feet
I’ve got those happy feet
Give them a low down 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 those hap-happy feet
