                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I would leave it mostly as is and not turn it into a kids' song.  It does remind me of "Don't worry, be happy."  Verse 3 seems like fill.  Not necessarily that you should get rid of it, just do some rework.  I would start with changing from "If you've got a bad attitude" to "Time to change your attitude."  That would also be easier to sing.]]></content:encoded>

V2 sounds a bit like don't worry be happy philosophy......vs3 seems cliche......so again i think choosing a specific intended audience will bring the lyrics into focus.<br><br>Thanks for sharing.<br><br>James]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I decided to write a two chord song, if the vein of "Iko Iko" "Ain't No Bugs on Me" etc. I'm thinking of this as a clapping song. In researching two chord songs, I was surprised to find there are a lot more of them than I previously realized. The biggest surprise was "Everyday People" by Sly Stone. There is so much musical interplay in that tune that I never knew how simple it was. <br><br><br>Do your happy dance   - two chord song<br><br>Why you sitting with that frown - Do your happy dance   <br>It’s time to turn that upside down - Do your happy dance   <br>Wave your arms and move your feet - Do your happy dance   <br>Clap your hands to the beat - Do your happy dance   <br><br>Do your happy dance   Do your happy dance   <br>Do your happy dance   <br>Clap your hands to the beat<br>Do your happy dance   <br><br>If you’ve got a bad attitude - Do your happy dance   <br>Fill your heart with gratitude and Do your happy dance   <br>Even if you had a bad day - Do your happy dance   <br>All your problems go away - Do your happy dance   <br><br>Do your happy dance   Do your happy dance   <br>Do your happy dance   <br>All your problems go away<br>Do your happy dance   <br><br>Smell the flowers when they bloom - Do your happy dance  <br>Let your joy fill up the room -  Do your happy dance   <br>You say you’re lonely feeling blue - Do your happy dance   <br>Ask someone to dance with you - Do your happy dance   <br><br>Do your happy dance   Do your happy dance   <br>Do your happy dance   <br>Ask someone to dance with you<br>Do your happy dance   <br><br>*Repeat first verse and chorus]]></content:encoded>
