Happy Feet (Theme From Walk, Don't Run) [*]
Peggy Lee · Other Songs - Peggy Lee
Sound of rain on the window pane,
Pick some mighty sweet and soft refrain,
But I never heard a sound as sweet
As the tippity-tippity-tap of happy feet!
Mockin'bird never says a word,
But his pretty music must be heard!
Well, there is music with a beat
Of the tippity-tippity-tap of happy feet!
Honey, when we're dancin',
It's so divine!
Kinda we're much closer,
Closer than a quarter to nine!
Love that band on the Dixieland,
Gotta rhythm makes you clap your hands!
But there is a rhythm, I repeat,
Like the tippity-tippity-tap of happy feet!
Hey look at me ma, I'm dancin',
It's so divine!
Kinda we're much closer,
Closer than a quarter to nine!
Love that band on the Dixieland,
Gotta rhythm makes you clap your hands!
But there is a rhythm, I repeat,
Like the tippity-tippity-tap of happy feet!
Love that band on the Dixieland,
Gotta rhythm makes you clap your hands!
But there is a rhythm, I repeat,
Like the tippity-tippity-tap of happy feet!
Let go, watch those happy feet!
Crazy 'bout those tappy feet!
Come on, join us, listen to
The rhythm, it's the rhythm, I repeat
The rhythm of happy feet!
Pick some mighty sweet and soft refrain,
But I never heard a sound as sweet
As the tippity-tippity-tap of happy feet!
Mockin'bird never says a word,
But his pretty music must be heard!
Well, there is music with a beat
Of the tippity-tippity-tap of happy feet!
Honey, when we're dancin',
It's so divine!
Kinda we're much closer,
Closer than a quarter to nine!
Love that band on the Dixieland,
Gotta rhythm makes you clap your hands!
But there is a rhythm, I repeat,
Like the tippity-tippity-tap of happy feet!
Hey look at me ma, I'm dancin',
It's so divine!
Kinda we're much closer,
Closer than a quarter to nine!
Love that band on the Dixieland,
Gotta rhythm makes you clap your hands!
But there is a rhythm, I repeat,
Like the tippity-tippity-tap of happy feet!
Love that band on the Dixieland,
Gotta rhythm makes you clap your hands!
But there is a rhythm, I repeat,
Like the tippity-tippity-tap of happy feet!
Let go, watch those happy feet!
Crazy 'bout those tappy feet!
Come on, join us, listen to
The rhythm, it's the rhythm, I repeat
The rhythm of happy feet!
Happy Feet (Theme From Walk, Don't Run)
Peggy Lee's 1950 recording of 'Happy Feet' serves as the iconic theme for the film Walk, Don't Run. The track exemplifies her signature vocal style, blending a cool, detached delivery with a rhythmic swing that defined the era of jazz and pop. Originally composed by Sammy Fain and Irving Burgie, the song was released on Lee's 1951 album It's A Good Day. Its distinctive melody and Lee's performance made it a staple of the soundtrack, capturing the film's blend of romance and suspense. The recording remains a celebrated example of mid-century vocal jazz, showcasing Lee's ability to convey complex emotions through her voice alone.
