song lyrics

[susana53]

I've heard a song and I seem to remember it was being used in a dementia group, but I can't recall the words. The only bits I do remember is:

If you're feeling sad just clap,
if you're feeling sad ,
keep it steady, don't hurry
and you won't have time to worry,


If anyone can help me with the rest of the lyrics I would be very grateful.

The only thing close to that I can think of is "If you're happy and you know it clap your hands"

The lyrics are here http://www.songsforteaching.com/folk/ifyourehappyandyouknowitclapyourhands.htm but I really doubt it is that.

Sorry.

No it's not that one, but thanks anyway!

This song is the additional part of "If your happy and you know it" that is not used very much... It is tagged in this video by the NHS of singing for people with Dementia

"If you're feeling sad keep it steady
Then you won't have time to worry


One of the 'Singing for the Brain' songs that have been used nationwide in lots of centres.

But I can't remember the rest of it!

Try your local 'Singing for the Brian' organiser - they'll probably have the lyrics. If that's the one you're thinking of, that is.

Snap!

That's the one I was thinking of.

 

[susana53]

Yay! that's it! [sorry Jennifer you were right]
It's amazing that I worked with children for years and never used that part of the song.
I've just got to work out the tune for it all. I know some parts but need to put it together.
Of course, if anyone knows a link to the whole tune, please let me know. I would be very grateful.

Cheers everyone. Have a good day!

The permutations are endless - or you can just make them up to suit.

Yes they are the versions I know. It's strange that the other part seems to have disappeared from the song.

I’ve heard this song at Feel Good Singing. The song that we are referring to is a rendition of “If You’re Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands “The full song that I’ve heard sounds like this:

“If you clap, when you’re feeling sad. If you clap, when you’re feeling sad. Take it steady. Don’t hurry. And you won’t have time to worry”

In the choir that I attend, we get split into groups, within each group starting to sing at a different time, once we’ve sang it all the way through in our groups, we then swap when to start singing
