Thread Name: Lyr Req: Danny Kaye Songs
Subject: Lyr Add: LIFE COULD NOT BETTER BE (from Danny Kaye
Life could not better be, better be, better be
It could not possibly, no, serrah serrah sirree
Songs could not gayer be, sound your Do, Re or Mi
Do Re Mi sol la ti, fa la la la, fa-alo-ow 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 or me,... life couldn't possibly, not even probably
Life couldn't possibly better be.

Life could not better be, on a midy-evil spree
Knights full of chivilry, villians full of villiany
You'll see as you suspect, maidens fair, just beget
Suthe, tried and true aspect, for the umpteenth time we resurect

We did research, authenticity was a must
Whew!... did we search, and what did we find? huh-chew! A lotta 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 mer-ril-ly

We asked Shakespeare, and Francis Bacon would they declare
Which one wrote this, and they both said... get outda dair!

Which brings us, to the plot, and plot we've got, quite alot
And as it unfolds you'll seeeeeeee
What starts as a scary tale, ...ends like a fairy tale...
And life couldn't possibly beh-ter beeeeeeee!

I love this song, and I'm looking forward to performing it! ttr
