What is the Origin’s of Happy And You Know It Rhyme?
Believe it or not there’s not a whole lot known about the song other than it’s been around a very long time. One of the more fun rumors is that it originated as a Latvian drinking song and evolved into a children’s nursery rhyme. This is my personal favorite, because you could imagine the adults after a long night and then repeating the very song they were singing to their toddler in a more soothing melodic tune.
