Songs:


If You're Ever Feeling Grouchy  (sung to Did You Ever See a Lassie)

If you're ever feeling grouchy, so grouchy, so grouchy,

 If you're ever feeling grouchy,

 Just flap both your arms.

 Flap this way and that way and this way and that way.

 If you're ever feeling grouchy just flap both your arms.


 If you're ever feeling grouchy, so grouchy,  so grouchy,

 If you're ever feeling grouchy,

 Just jump up real high.

 Jump this way and that way and this way and that way.

 If you're ever feeling grouchy just jump up real high.


 If you're ever feeling grouchy,  so grouchy, so grouchy,

 If you're ever feeling grouchy,

 Just spin on your toes.

 Spin this way and that way and this way and that way.

 If you're ever feeling grouchy just spin on your toes.


If you're ever feeling grouchy,  so grouchy, so grouchy,

 If you're ever feeling grouchy,

 Just wear a big smile.

 Smile this way and that way and this way and that way.

 If you're ever feeling grouchy just wear a big smile.

Original Words by Joe Stover

If You're Grumpy and You Know It  (sung to If You're Happy and You Know It)

 If you're grumpy and you know it say, "Grr, grr."

 If you're grumpy and you know it say, "Grr, grr."

 If you're grumpy and you know it,

 And you really want to show it,

 If you're grumpy and you know it say, "Grr, grr."

 If you're grumpy and you know it stomp your feet.

 If you're grumpy and you know it stomp your feet.

 If you're grumpy and you know it,

 And you really want to show it,

 If you're grumpy and you know it stomp your feet.


If you're grumpy and you know it cross your arms.

 If you're grumpy and you know it cross your arms.

 If you're grumpy and you know it,

 And you really want to show it,

 If you're grumpy and you know it cross your arms.



If you're grumpy and you know it say, "Gimme that!"

 If you're grumpy and you know it say, "Gimme that!"

 If you're grumpy and you know it,

 And you really want to show it,

 If you're grumpy and you know it say, "Gimme that!"



If you're grumpy and you know it do all four.

 If you're grumpy and you know it do all four.

 If you're grumpy and you know it,

 And you really want to show it,

 If you're grumpy and you know it do all four.
