"Little Man, You've Had a Busy Day" or "Little Man (You've Had a Busy Day)" is a modern vocal music song, with music by Mabel Wayne, and words by Al Hoffman and Maurice Sigler.
"Little Man, You've Had a Busy Day" became a hit song as it was covered by four major artists the same year.

The song was later covered by Perry Como (1958), Sarah Vaughan and Count Basie (1961), Dakota Staton (1972), Monica Borrfors (1994) as well as Connee Boswell and Art Tatum.
