If You Want To Be Happy:Jimmy Soul
Top of charts in '63.

CHORUS:
D               G                          A
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life,
             D
Never make a pretty woman your wife.
           G                 A
So from my personal point of view,
                          D
Get an ugly girl to marry you.
D               G                          A
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life,
             D
Never make a pretty woman your wife.
          G                 A
So for my personal point of view,
                          D
Get an ugly girl to marry you.

#1.
D
A pretty woman makes her husband look small,
         A                    D
And very often causes his downfall.
D
As soon as he married her and then she starts,
          A                          D
To do the things that will break his heart.
D
But if you make an ugly woman your wife,
          A                          D
you'll be happy for the rest of your life.
D
An ugly woman cooks meals on time,
           A                        D
And she'll always give you peace of mind.

CHORUS:

#2.
D
Don't let your friends say you have no taste,
    A                 D
Go ahead and marry anyway.
D
Though her face is ugly and her eyes don't match,
             A                  D
Take it from me, she's a better catch.

CHORUS:

ADD:
(Ad lib:Spoken:)
D
Say man!

Hey baby!

I saw your wife the other day!

Yeah?

Yeah, an' she's ug—leeee!

Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!

Yeah, alright!

CHORUS:(x 4)
