[Intro] (Brisk, rhythmic chord patterns) Ba-da-ba-ba, bum-ba-da-bum Ba-da-ba-ba, she snores in harmony... [Verse 1] (Lead) I met a girl, a charming sight, With eyes that sparkled in the night. Her laugh was like a gentle breeze, A melody among the trees. (Bass) A melody... (All) Among the trees! I took her home, the date was through, And that, my friends, is when I knew... [Chorus] (All, bright and syncopated) She snored a perfect chord! A minor seventh, praise the Lord! (Tenor) A D-minor seventh! (All) Right upon the beat! A resonant and sweet quartet From pillows, not a music bar! I'd found the girl to tune my heart... (Baritone) She snored a perfect chord! [Verse 2] (Lead) Her inhalations, clean and true, A solid root for all we'd do. The exhalation, crisp and free, Provided all the harmony. (All) The har-mo-ny! (Bass) A little warble, slight and bright... (Tenor) That's me, the tenor, high and light! (Baritone) And I fill in the middle space, (Lead) It's matrimony's sweet embrace! [Chorus] (All) She snored a perfect chord! A minor seventh, praise the Lord! (Bass) A D-minor seventh! (All) Right upon the beat! A resonant and sweet quartet From pillows, not a music bar! I'd found the girl to tune my heart... (All, chord ring) She snored a perfect chord! [Bridge] (All, slower, sweeter harmony) Now some folks need a radio, Or quiet, so their dreams can grow. But I just smile and count the beats... (Tenor) One! (Baritone) Two! (Bass) Three! (Lead) Four! (All, speeding up) Our heads upon the mattress meet, And every single night we score... A ringing chord that we adore! [Breakdown] (Rhythmic, spoken-sung over walking bass) (Bass) She goes *inhale* (Brum-bum) (Lead) I go *shuffle* (Ba-da-dum) (Baritone) Then the counterline... (Dee-dle-dee) (Tenor) That's the part that's mine! (Wee-oo!) (All, sung) It's a domestic symphony! A somnolent society! We never have to pay the band, It's right here in our... [Chorus - Big Finish] (All, full power, held chords) SHE SNORED A PERFECT CHORD! A MINOR SEVENTH, PRAISE THE LORD! A D-MINOR SEVENTH! RIGHT UPON THE BEAT! A resonant and sweet quartet, The finest sound I've ever heard! I married for the harmony... (All, final sustained chord, decrescendo to a soft, rhythmic snore) She snores... a per...fect... choooooord... (Bass) *z-z-z-zip* (Baritone) *z-z-z-zup* (Lead) *z-z-z-zoom* (Tenor) *z-z-z-zing* (All, whisper) Ahhhh.
