Happy Feet 1930 'King Of Jazz'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 10 Jun 2002

When you find that your mind
keeps you worried and blue,
you can always let your feet
keep your disposition sweet.
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 lowdown 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 haphaphappy feet.

Happy feet! I've got those happy feet.
Give them a lowdown 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 haphaphappy feet.

Go 'way blues, let my shoes
take you out of my mind,
'cause they always make me dance,
and they'd wake me from a trance.
heel and toe, off they go
tapping to the beat,
now you'll surely understand
why I'm at their command.

Happy feet! I've got those happy feet.
Give them a lowdown 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 haphaphappy feet.

Happy feet! I've got those happy feet.
Give them a lowdown 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 haphaphappy feet.
