Lyric variations [edit]

Like many children's songs, there are many versions of the lyrics. A popular version goes like this:

If you lot're happy and yous know information technology, clap your hands!
If you're happy and you know it, handclapping your hands!
If you lot're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it;
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!

This verse is unremarkably followed by three more than, 4 more, etc. which follow the same pattern but say: "If you're happy and you know it, stomp/stamp your feet!", "If y'all're happy and you lot know information technology, shout/say 'hooray'!" or "shout/say 'amen'!", "If you're happy and you know information technology, do all three!" and "If y'all're happy and you know it, do all four!". Other versions of the vocal tend to say "then your face will surely show it" in place of "and you really desire to show it"; the form "then you really ought to show it" has too been used. Many variations on the substance of the first three verses be, including:^[11]
