"Happiness" is a song written by American country musician Bill Anderson, and first recorded by Anderson on his 1963 album Still.[1]

In the United Kingdom, the song is best known in the version by comedian and singer Ken Dodd. Dodd's recording, arranged by Ivor Raymonde and released on EMI's Columbia label, reached number 31 on the UK Singles Chart in 1964. Although not one of Dodd's biggest chart hits, it became known as the comedian's signature song.[2][3]
