If You’re Happy And You Know It Clap Your Hands

This has always been a favourite children’s action chorus, but we also sang it as teenagers at Young People’s Meeting on Friday evenings. Uncle Alan would lead the singing back then, and every time . . . I mean every single time when we reached the part about stomping our feet, we could see him raising high his foot to the right side of the podium and stomping it. That always brought a smile to our faces.
