This song was written by John for George to sing. At the early stages of their career, George was somewhat limited in the ability to write songs and range of singing. Realizing that George was feeling a bit "left out", John penned "I'm Happy Just To Dance With You", handed it to George and said "why don't you sing the lead on this one!" Prior to his death in 1980, John did referred back to this song as he was expressing frustration regarding the book George wrote entitled "I Me Mine". The book covered George's career and success and there wasn't even a mere reference to John. John's response to this was "Gee George, you're welcome!"
