Nice cheery song Tommy! I remember the Specials used to do a cover of this. Love the chipmunk backing vocals !!

Nice one, Tommy. I've always liked this song. Canadians of a certain age will remember it as the advertising jingle for Labatt 50 ale in the 1950s and 1960s ("Enjoy yourself, take five for 50 ale").
I can't find a good example of the jingle online but there are a few variations of it here:
http://www.labatthistoricgift.ca/tv/index.html#Labatt50 (http://www.labatthistoricgift.ca/tv/index.html#Labatt50)
"Studio" and "Ski Lodge" are the closest to what I remember but still pretty far off. They kept changing it to suit the times, so it got further from the original tune which was used in the 1950s.
Here are a couple of print ads from the early 1960s featuring the slogan "take five for 50 ale" from the jingle.
