Song lyrics to Lazy Countryside (1947) Written by Bobby Worth, Performed by Dinah Shore in Walt Disney’s Fun and Fancy Free
I love to hang around
The lazy countryside
(Where things are nice and breezy)
With nature’s gang around
The lazy countryside
(Where life is twice as easy)
Where the crickets you don’t hear in the city
Keep a-hummin’ in your ear, oh, so pretty

Song lyrics to Say It With a Slap (1947) Written by Buddy Kaye and Eliot Daniel, Performed by Dinah Shore and Chorus in Walt Disney’s Fun and Fancy Free
[Editor’s note: Say It With a Slap is, frankly, a weird little song. The concept is, when a boy & girl bear fall in love, they slap each other. The hero of the story, Bongo, has been raised in a circus … And doesn’t know this. And his would-be girlfriend is heartbroken that he won’t slap her. As I say, a weird little song …]

Song lyrics to My What a Happy Day (1947) Written by Bill Walsh and Ray Noble, Performed by Anita Gordon as the Singing Harp in Walt Disney’s Fun and Fancy Free
My, what a happy day
What a sunny sky
Kind of makes you sigh in a happy way
What a very merry day
All the world is gay
When your cares are light
And your heart takes flight
And you’re swept away

Everyone is so delightful
No one’s mean or spiteful
In my favorite dream
