Jimmy Soul

If You Wanna Be Happy

by Jimmy Soul
Jimmy Soul

Biography:

Jimmy Soul (August 24, 1942 - June 25, 1988), born James McCleese in Weldon, North Carolina, was a vocalist.

He performed gospel as a teenager, later scouted by Frank Guida and recruited to sing songs handpicked for one of Guida's other hit artists, Gary U.S. Bonds. Soul only ever had two chart hits, both which were Bond's cast-offs, "Twistin' Matilda", in 1962, and the Billboard Hot 100 number one hit "If You Wanna Be Happy" (based on the calypso, "Ugly Woman", by Roaring Lion) in 1963.

Get an ugly girl to marry you


Ab
a pretty woman makes her husband look small
Eb Ab
And very often causes his downfall

As soon as he marries her, then she starts
Eb Ab
Doing the things that will break his heart


Ab
But if you make an ugly woman your wife
Eb Ab
You'll be happy for the rest of your life

An ugly woman cooks your meals on time
Eb Ab
An she'll always give you peace of mind

Ab
Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Eb Ab
Go ahead and marry anyway

Though her face is ugly and her eyes don't match


Eb Ab
Take it from me, she's a better catch


Ab Db Eb
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Cm Fm
Never make a pretty woman your wife

Get an ugly girl to marry you


Say man.
Hey baby.
I saw your wife the other day.
Yeah?
Yeah, she's ugly.
Yeah, she's ugly but she sure can cook.
Yeah?. Okay.
