Lyrics by：William Schwenck Gilbert

Composed by：Arthur Sullivan

See how the fates their gifts allot

For a is happy b is not

Yet b is worthy I dare say

Of more prosperity than a

Is b more worthy

I should say

He's worth a great deal more than a

Yet a is happy

Oh so happy

Laughing ha ha

Chaffing ha ha

Nectar quaffing ha ha ha

Ever joyous ever gay

Happy undeserving a

Ever joyous ever gay

Happy undeserving a

If I were fortune which I'm not

B should enjoy a's happy lot

And a should die in miserie

That is assuming I am b

But should a perish

That should be

Of course assuming I am b

B should be happy

Oh so happy

Laughing ha ha

Chaffing ha ha

Nectar quaffing ha ha ha

But condemned to die is he

Wretched meritorious b

But condemned to die is he

Wretched meritorious b
