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! |
