If You Wanna Be Happy - aka If You Want To Be Happy Live At PJ’s - 1963 Lyrics

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Don't make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Don't make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he marries her, then she starts
Doin' the things that will break his heart

But if you make an ugly woman your wife
You'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks your meals on time
An she'll always give you peace of mind

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Don't make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Don't make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you
See man I saw your wife last night
And she sure is ugly
Yeah baby but she sure can cook
Oh yeah, let me hear you everybody now

La la la
La la la
La la la
