Happy Tappin' With Elmo

Words and Music by Christopher Cerf
1990 Splotched Animal Music (BMI)
sung by Elmo (Kevin Clash)


First your fingers snap
And then your toes start tappin'
Give your knees a slap
And let your hands start clappin'
Anything can happen when you're happy tappin' with Elmo

Don't need a map to find the King of Tappin'
I'm the reddish chap
The one whose arms are flappin'
People, it's a snap
So try some happy tappin' with Elmo

Happy's such a neat emotion
It'll give your feet a happy notion
If your toes get tired rub in some lotion
And they'll feel swell, so, come join Elmo

You'll be happy when you see me tappin'
Better make it snappy, don't get caught nappin'
Tell your mam and pappy that you're happy tappin' with Elmo
Happy tappin' with Elmo

Happy's such a neat emotion
It'll give your feet that happy notion
If your toes get tired rub in some lotion
And they'll feel swell, so, come join Elmo

You'll be happy when you see me tappin'
Better make it snappy, don't get caught nappin'
Tell your mam and pappy that you're happy tappin' with Elmo
Happy tappin' with Elmo
Yeah!
