Lyrics
Oh happy days! Oh, happy days here in our school
Oh happy days! Oh, happy days at school
Oh happy days! Oh, happy days here in our school
Oh happy days! Oh, happy days at school
There may be stuff that's not too cool
But these are happy days at school
Our schoolhouse is up on a hill
The little rooms we daily fill
We come to learn and have some fun
With books and crayons for everyone
Our teacher loves to help us learn
We recite our lessons - each in turn
Oh happy days! Oh, happy days here in our school
Oh happy days! Oh, happy days at school
Reading and arithmetic
To count by threes is really slick
Learning fractions makes us see
That common denominators are the key
But most of all we love to color
Sharing always with each other
Some crayons are bright and others are dull
There are many different choices available
Red and yellow for roses
Blues are used for sky and water
Brown for trunks of trees
And green is perfect for grasses and leaves
Oh happy days oh happy days here at our school
Oh happy days oh happy days at school
(repeat refrain, fading into school bells)
Oh happy days oh happy days here in our school
Oh happy days oh happy days at school
