Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
C F/C C F/C
 
[Verse 1]
        C
Can you stand upon one leg
     Dm
It’s harder than you think
   Cmaj7
If you can do it without falling down
        F
You can do just about anything
Dm     G
Go on, see if you can
Dm      G                         C
See how long you can stand on one leg

[Verse 2]
        C
Can you beat your dad at chess
     Dm
It’s harder than you think
Cmaj7
Sit him down at Christmas, turn the TV off
                 F
Give him lots of chocolates and a drink
    Dm       G
And he might give you a match
    Dm               G
And when you’ve been duly dispatched
        C            G/C
He will laugh, ha ha ha
           Bb/C           A
And you’ll say, ‘one more game’
 
[Verse 3]
        D
Can you write a silly song
     Em
It’s harder than you think
Dmaj7
One that’s not too short, one that’s not too long
                   G
One that can makes everybody sing
Em     A
Go on, give it a try
    Em       A
You might do better than I
          D              A/C#         C
It’s just like trying to stand on one leg
 
[Verse 4]
        B7      E
Tell me can you tell a funny joke
         F#m
One that makes you laugh out loud
         E/G#
One that makes the milk come out your nose
       A
If you know a funny joke then tell it now...
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
           E           G#m
That’s not bad, I’m impressed
            Bm        C#
But there’s one final test
        F#                        G#m
Can you hold a singing note for a stupidly long time
      F#/Bb
Well it’s my party piece so let’s make it a little harder
   B
By starting it way up high
G#m      C#
Come on, give it a go
G#m            C#
Let’s see how long you can hoooold
        F#
On to a note!
