Happy Blues Lyrics - Ella Fitzgerald

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
