C                  G        
I once knew a man, who owned a 
   C
butcher shop, he
                       Dm
also had apartments to rent up on 
top.
       G
But he didn't include on the sign 
that he painted,
    Dm                             
"no pets," and the tenant who 
      G
rented had six hungry
         C
dogs, he regrets.
G                           C    
But he said, when things go 
                 Dm
wrong, just sing this song,
                 G              
the birds in the trees will sing 
 C
harmony.

CHORUS:
C                                 
Sing c'est la vie and soon you 
  D    Dm
will see..ee

If you think 'The Old Woman Who 
C
Lived In The Shoe' had
   Dm       C                     
it bad..the story of Mrs. Pierre 
               D  Dm
is ten times as sad.
             Dm
(Poor woman) with twenty-two 
children, a duck, and two
goats in the bin..she was gaily 
              G
informed by a doctor
                  C
that she's having twins.
G                            C   
But she said, when things go 
                  Dm
wrong, just sing this song,
                 G              
the birds in the trees will sing 
 C

C
Have I mentioned to you the worst 
one of all..the night a
mayor and his wife had their annual 
D   Dm
ball.
(I remember) the speeches he makes 
               G
after dinner became quite
  Dm                               
renowned..but this time he sneezed 
                      F
when he spoke and his pants
          C
they fell down.
G                            C   
But they say, when things go 
                  Dm
wrong, just sing this song,
                 G              
the birds in the trees will sing 
 C
harmony.

CHORUS:
C                                 
Sing c'est la vie and soon you
