-------------------------------------------


FIG. A A

C C C/G C/G
A|-----3-------3----|
E|-----0-------0----|
C|--0--0-------0----|
g|-----0----0--0----|



Sort of a variation on an open C C strummed over and over,
alternate between picking the 3 on the E E and the on the A A,
whichever you pick strum the rest of the chord afterwards.
This gives the song its bouncy feel.

Play FIG A A 6 times as you say, "It's the happy happy joy joy song!".

Then the seventh time around play this ascending 'fill'
