Hello folks,
I had on the old western Jayhawkers with Fess Parker, and at one point he picked up a small guitar and sang a neat little folk song that consisted of three chords and starts out:

"Yonder sits an old blue jay
A lazy bird is he
He waits for us to catch the worm
And he eats them one two three."

The chorus is:

"Oh hippy happy Henny
With a tiny shiny penny
For a hippy happy Henny I say
Oh hippy happy Henny
With a tiny shiny penny
For the hippy happy old blue jay."

I have been searching for the origins of this little song, but have found nothing except a Youtube recording of the excerpt that includes that song (Fess Parker's song ). I'm beginning to think it was written for the movie! Does anybody know different? Thanks!
