You take a pick, find a string, take it quick, make it 
swing,
Play a run, Strike a chord. Having fun? Having fun?

Happy guitar, play it for me.
Happy guitar, play that melody.
I wanna hear that chun-ka-chun-ka whom, ching.
Chun-ka-chun-ka whom ching chah!
From my happy guitar!

When I'm blue she makes me grin,
Stays by me through thick and thin,
Yes, where I go she strings along,
That's why I sing this songÂ….Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh 

Happy guitar, play that melody.
I wanna hear that chun-ka-chun-ka whom, ching.
Chun-ka-chun-ka whom ching chah!
From my happy guitar!

Lazy feet can't stay that way, not when this tune 
begins to play
So clap your hands and feel the beat.
That's coming from that “geet”. Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

Happy guitar, play it for me.
Happy guitar, play that melody.
I wanna hear that chun-ka-chun-ka whom, ching.
Chun-ka-chun-ka whom ching chah!
From my happy guitar!
