Life Could Not Be Better - Danny Kaye

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, so, 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 could not 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.
