If You'Re Happy and You Know It

IF YOU’RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT. . . . . If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands. If you don’t clap it means either you’re not happy, Or you don’t know that you have full happy glands. There are four possibilities in this situation, chappy : You’re Happy and you know it - clap your hands; You’re not happy and you know it - do something about your life; You’re happy and you don’t know it - you’re unaware, head in the sands; You’re not happy and you don’t know it - ask your wife. When I see people doing this hand-clapping business I ask myself do they know that they are happy; Or filled with unhappiness and lacking self-awareness; Or simply clapping automatically, disguising their lives so crappy?
