[Verse]
D G A
Life could not better be
G A D A
Better be, better be
D G A
It could not possibly
A D A D
No sirrah, sirrah si-ree
[Verse]
D G A
Songs could not gayer be
G A D A
Sound your doe rei or mii
D G A
Re mi fa so la see

Fa, la la la, follow me
[Chorus]
A D
Why be gloomy?
A D
Cut thy nose off to spite thy face?
C# F#m
Listen to me
N.C. D5 N.C.
A nose is hard... to replace
[Verse 2]
D G A
Skies could not bluer be
G A D A
Hearts in love truer be
D G C#
I'd say for you or me
Em7 F#m
Life couldn't possibly, not even probably
Em G A D
Life couldn't possibly bet-ter be
[Verse]
D G A
Life could not better be
G A D A
On a medieval spree
D G A
Knights full of chivalry
A D A D
Villains full of vil-lai-ny
[Verse]
D G A
You'll see as you suspect
G A D A
Maidens fair, in silks bedecked
D G A
Each pride and true effect
A D A D
For the umpteenth time we re-sur-rect
[Chorus]
A D
We did research
A D
Authenticity was a must
C# F#m
"Zooks!" Did we search!
N.C. D5 N.C.
And what did we find?... A lotta dust
[Verse]
D G A
After the dust had cleared
G A D A
Half the cast had a beard
D G A
And I'm the one as you can see
A D A D
For whom the bell tolls mer-ri-ly
[Chorus]
A D
We asked Shakespeare
A D
And Francis Bacon would they declare
C# F#m
which one wrote this?
N.C. D5 N.C.
And they both said... "get outta there!"
[Verse 2]
D G A
Which brings us to the plot
G A D A
Plot we got, quite a lot
D G C#
And as it unfolds you'll see
G F#m
What starts like a scary tale
Em D
Ends like a fairy tale
Em G A D
And life couldn't possibly bet-ter be
