Life could not better be, better be, better be It could not possibly, no sirrrah, sirrah, sirree Songs could not gayer be, sound your do, re, or mi Re, mi, fa, sol, la si, fa la la la follow me Why be gloomy? Cut thy nose off to spite thy face Listen to me, a nose is hard to replace Skies could not bluer be, hearts in love, truer be I say for you and me life couldn’t possibly, not even probably Life couldn’t possibly better be Life couldn’t better be on a medieval spree Knights full of chivalry, villains full of villainy You’ll see as you suspect maidens fair, in silks bedecked Each tried and true effect for the umpteenth time we’ll resurrect We did research, authenticity was a must Zooks! Did we search! What did we find? Achoo, a lot of dust After the dust had cleared half the cast had a beard And I’m the one as you can see for whom the bell tolls merrily We asked Shakespeare and Francis Bacon would they declare Which one wrote this and they both said, Get outta dere Which bring us to the plot, plot we’ve got, quite a lot As it unfolds you’ll see what starts like a scary tale ends like a fairy tale And life couldn’t possibly better be.
