When I was a kid I was in a musical version of the Pied Piper and I learned a song that I will probably remember until I draw my last breath. It went:

Happy happiness all around,
The happy sights and the happy sounds,
From side to side and up and down,
Happy family –Hamlelin-town.

Shake a hand with a bro-other,
Give a wave to a-no-no-nother,
Share a laugh with a sister, who
will send a smile right back to you.

Happy happiness all around,
The happy sights and the happy sounds,
From side to side and up and down,
Happy family –Hamlelin-town.

Brothers and sisters, but not the same,
A different face and a different name,
The shade of you skin, the shape of your eyes,
A fish can swim, but a bird can fly!

Yet one thing join us all hand in hand,
Across the ocean, throughout the land,
yes one thing makes us the same you see:
we’re a part of a family.

Happy happiness all around,
The happy sights and the happy sounds,
From side to side and up and down,
Happy family –Hamlelin-town.

And that’s what I hear when I watch this GIF.
