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:

"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.
