Three songs from Max Fleischer's animated feature film, "Gulliver's Travels," were recorded by Guy Lombardo. "It's A Hap-Hap-Happy Day" was sung by the Lilliputian villagers as they made a new suit of clothes to fit their friend and protector, Gulliver. The song was later used as the opening theme for a series of short "Gabby" cartoons (Gabby was the comical town crier in the movie).

Here, "It's a Hap-Hap-Happy Day" is illustrated with scenes from an idealized school day for American children in the 1930s.

Illustrations by Mildred Lyon Hetherington from "A Day In School" by Fannie L. Michaels, 1938, in the collection of abendstunde49.
