I Want to Be Happy

Chick Webb & His Orchestra was a prominent jazz and swing band during the 1930s and 1940s. Led by drummer Chick Webb, they were one of the most popular and influential big bands of their time. The group's energetic performances and Webb's exceptional drumming skills helped pave the way for the swing era. Despite Webb's premature death in 1939, his orchestra continued to perform under various leaders before disbanding in 1942. more »

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 gray
And you say you are blue
I'll send the sun smiling through

I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy, too
