Songtexte: Kid Creole And The Coconuts. If You Want To Be Happy.

:
You want to be happy for the rest of your life

Never make a pretty woman your wife

so for my personal point of view

Get an ugly girl to marry you (repeat)



A pretty woman makes her husband look small

And very often causes his downfall

As soon as he marries her then she starts

Doing the things that will break his heart

But if you make an ugly woman your wife

Then you will be happy for the rest of your life

An ugly woman cooks meals on time

She'll always give you peace of mind



CHORUS

If you want to be happy for the rest of your life

Never make a pretty woman your wife

So for my personal point of view

Get an ugly girl to marry you (repeat)



So if your friends say you have no taste

Go ahead and marry anyway

Though her face is ugly her eyes don't match

Take it from me she's a better catch



CHORUS

If you want to be happy for the rest of your life

Never make a pretty woman your wife

So for my personal point of view

Get an ugly girl to marry you (repeat)



Say kid YES

I saw your wife the other day UH HUH

And she's ugly

HA HA BUT SHE SURE CAN COOK



CHORUS

If you want to be happy for the rest of your life

Never make a pretty woman your wife

So for my personal point of view

Get an ugly girl to marry you (repeat)
