Bbm
It's a beautiful day
       F/C
It's a rather nice day
  Bbm       F/C      Bbm
A day for a glorious wedding
  Bbm/C#                   B/Eb
A rehearsal my dear, to be perfectly clear
  Bbm             F/C      Bbm
A rehearsal for a glorious wedding
  Bbm            B               F            Bbm
Assuming nothing happens that we don't really know
     Bbm/C#  F7              F/C            Bbm
That nothing unexpected interferes with the show

[Chorus 1]
    Bbm        F/C
And that's why everything
Bbm        F/C
Every last little thing
Bbm          F/C        Bbm      F/C            F F/A F/C F
Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go
  C#         F#m
According to plan
    Ab          C#
Our son will be married
  Bbm        F#m
According to plan
    Ab     C#m
Our family carried
   Ab           C#           F# B
Elevated to the heights of society
       Ab      C#
To the costume balls
       Ab       C#
In the hallowed halls
        Eb              Fm
Rubbing elbows with the finest
       Em                Fm
Having crumpets with Her Highness
         B               E
We'll be there, we'll be seen
       B            E
Having tea with the queen
      A      A/C#       A/E A
We'll forget everything
     Ab C#m
That we've ever, ever been

[Verse 2]
       Am
It's a terrible day
    E
Now don't be that way
       Am       E         Am
It's a terrible day for a wedding
       F                 Bbm
It's a sad, sad state of affairs we're in
         Am          E       Am
That has led to this ominous wedding
F             Bb          E       Am
How could our family have come to this?
   E             Bb              Bb      E
To marry off our daughter to the nouveau riche
           Am
They're so common. So coarse
N.C.                    Dm E
Oh it couldn't be worse
N.C.
Couldn't be worse? I'm afraid I disagree
              Dm
They could be land-rich, bankrupt aristocracy
N.C.
Without a penny to their name
N.C.      F           E
Just like you, and me
N.C.
Oh dear

[Chorus 2]
    Am         E
And that's why everything
Am         E
Every last little thing
Am           E          Am           E          E  E/F E/F# E/Ab
Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go
  Am         Bb
According to plan
    E             Am
Our daughter will wed
  Am         Bb
According to plan
    G      F
Our family led
         G         E       Fm   Bbm F F/C# Bbm
From the depths of deepest poverty
       G     C
To the noble realm
       G G7 C
Of our ancestry
    B          Em           B       Em
And who'd have guessed in a million years
         E               Am
That our daughter with a face
      E        Am
Of an otter in disgrace
         E        F           E        Fm
Would provide our ticket to a rightful place

[Bridge]
Gm                       Cm            Gm
Marriage is a partnership. A little tit-for-tat
Cm
You'd think a lifetime watching us
Abm                   Eb
Might have taught her that
Eb         Eb7/G      Abm
Might have taught her that
Abm                Abm
Everything must be perfect
Abm                Abm
Everything must be perfect
Abm                Abm
Everything must be perfect
Abm                Abm     Abm
Everything must be perfect perfect

[Chorus 3]
Abm        Eb7
That's why everything
Abm        Eb7
Every last little thing
Abm          Eb7        Abm          Eb7        Eb7
Every single tiny microscopic little thing must go
Eb7              Abm  Abm Eb7 Abm
    According to plan
