We want to leave you happy Don't want to leave you sad We want to leave you happy Don't want to leave you sad Want to sing some blues But don't want to sing them bad Roy wailed for you He wailed the blues tonight Roy wailed for you He wailed the blues tonight He wailed, he wailed, he wailed 'em just right He talked about a mean woman Oh what a woman was she Talked about a mean woman What a woman was she I've got my chance to talk about a man I'll talk about he He was good to me He was good He was good to me Whoa, so good I don't know much about the blues But i know somewhere There's a little bit of soul in ella There's a little bit of soul in me There's a little bit of soul in ella There's a little bit of soul in me Oh somewhere down the line I've had misery Every woman gets misery Every woman is crying Every woman has misery Every woman is crying Crying 'bout a man And the way he did her wrong I had one too I had one too I had one too I had one too He did me wrong, but what did i do I picked up and took patoot Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah I want to go out swinging Swinging the blues tonight Don't want to talk about mack the knife Don't want to talk about the snuffing Just want to have fun talking about Things that make you happy Snappy happy happy snappy, that's me Joe williams sang the blues tune He talked about his woman Joe williams sang the blues tune He talked about his woman Everybody, everybody pays those dues Have you paid your dues Have you paid your dues Have you paid your dues Have you paid your dues Everybody, somewhere along the line is paying some dues Dues, one and two Dues, doesn't matter nothing Dues, three and four Dues, maybe more, that's all right You're still paying dues So let's stay happy, happy, happy Let's stay happy Go swinging out, swinging out, swinging out Singing the blues Bye-bye Bye-bye It's been a wonderful night tonight Yes, it's been nice One more chorus, just for you I thank you daddy, for coming out I thank you people, for coming out Cause somewhere along the line, everyone will want to shout I want to shout Shout about my troubles I want to shout Shout about my troubles Like you i've paid the dues And i've got double trouble Come on, let's stay happy Come on, clap, let's stay happy Let's sing the happy blues No more sad dues I am happy you are happy too I am happy you are happy too So let's go out with the blues that's swinging Like count basie, swing on Like count basie, swing on Like count basie, swing on Like count basie, swing on Swing on, swing out tonight Hey now Hey now Hey now Right on now, with that soul C'mon everybody C'mon and say right on I said right on I said right on Right on Right on Right on Right on Right on Get with it, yeah Get with it, yeah Get with it, yeah Get with it, yeah Get with it Get with it Get with it, c'mon Let's make you happy Happy I've sung these blues, and i'm through Cause i don't know what i'm singing about I don't know what i'm singing about With this happy music This happy music So i'd better leave while i'm happy And say good night to you Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight
