Shirley Temple Song Lyrics This Is A Happy Little Ditty (Just around the Corner 1938) Lyrics/Music W.Bullock/H.Spina Picture: Original Sheet Music cover Sound Clip: ©1997 Iris Musique

This is a happy little ditty
I know the music isn't pretty
You know the words are not so witty
Anyone can sing this song

Change keys it really doesn't matter
There's still a lot of silly chatter
Ho-hum where coming to the patter
Jack and Jill went up the hill
And for all I know their up there still

I must say the music isn't pretty
Must say the words are not so witty
This is a happy little ditty
You can sing it all day long

       -----
This is a happy little ditty
I know the music isn't pretty
You know the words are not so witty
Anyone can sing this song

Change keys it really doesn't matter
Its just a lot of silly chatter
Hold on kids we're coming to the patter
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
It must have been awful stuffy in there

Still say the music isn't pretty
Still say the words are not so witty
This is a happy little ditty
You can sing it all day long

This is a happy little ditty
I know the music isn't pretty
You know the words are not so witty
Anyone can sing this song

Change keys it really doesn't matter
Its just a lot of silly chatter
Hold on we're coming to the patter
Early to bed, and early to rise
And your gal goes out with other guys

I still say the music isn't pretty
Still say the words are not so witty
This is a happy little ditty
You can sing it all day long
