I Want to Be Happy (Live in Laren, Holland, March 7, 1959)

I'm a very ordinary man

Trying to work out life's happy plan

Doing unto others as I'd like to have them doing unto me

When I find a very lonely soul

Soon be-kinda-comes my only goal

I feel so much better when I tell them my philosophy

I want to be happy

But I won't be happy

Till I make you happy too.

Life's really worth living

When we are mirth giving

Why can't I give some to you

When skies are gray and you say you are blue

I'll send the sun smiling through

I want to be happy

But I won't be happy

Till I make you happy too.

When skies are gray and you say you are blue

I'll send the sun smiling through

I want to be happy

But I won't be happy

Till I make you happy too.
