About this tune
If You’re Happy and You Know It invites everyone to join in with a simple action. The first verse asks for clapping, and the pauses after “hands” leave space for the response.
The melody rises through its opening phrases, reaches C in the middle, then descends to G at the close. Other action verses can turn the same tune into a group singing game.
