I Want to Be Happy

[JIMMY]
I'm a very ordinary man
Trying to work out life's happy plan
Doing into others as I'd like
To have them doing unto me

When I find a very lonely soul
To be kind becomes 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 grey
And you say you are blue
I'll send the sun smilin' through
I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy too

[NANETTE]
No one's ever talked like this to me
I have never known such sympathy
Only in my dreams
It really seems to me
It's too good to be true

There are smiling faces everywhere
Surely I deserve my little share
I'm a lucky girl to know that
I can get it all from you

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 grey
And you say you are blue
I'll send the sun smilin' through
'Cause I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy-

[JIMMY]
Till I make you happy-

[JIMMY & Nanette]
Till I make you happy too

[BOYS]
We want to be happy
But we won't be happy
Till we make you happy too

When skies are grey
And you say you are blue
We'll send the sun smilin' through
We want to be happy
But we won't be happy
Till we make you happy too
