I once knew a man, who owned a 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                                   G
"no pets," and the tenant who rented had six hungry 
         C
dogs, he regrets.
G                           C                     Dm
But he said, when things go wrong, just sing this song,
                 G               C
the birds in the trees will sing harmony.

CHORUS:
C                                   D    Dm

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

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