[INTRO]
[MRS. WORMWOOD]
So[A]mewhere along the [Fm/C]way, my dear
[Bm]You've made an awful e[E7]rror
You o[C#m]ughtn't blame yours[Cm]elf now
[Bm]Come along [E]
You [A]seem to think that [Fm/C]people
Like p[Bm7]eople, what are [Dm]clever
It's [Bm]very quaint, it's [E]very sweet
But [A]wrong!
P[D]eople don't like smarty pants
What [C#]go [Cm]round c[Bm]laiming
That they know stuff
We don't [A]know
Now, here's a tip
W[Bm]hat you know matters [E7]less
Than the v[C#m]olume with which
What you [G]don't know's [F#]expressed!
[Bm]Content has never been [B7/D#]less important
[E]So [E7]you have got to be ...

[MRS. WORMWOOD]
[Am]No-one's going to tell you when to shake your tush well
You've got a light, don't hide it under a bushel!
Oh, n[E]o-one's going to look if you don't stand out!

[MRS. WORMOOD]
[Dm]Doesn't really matter if you don't know nowt!
[RUDOLPHO]
[Am]As long as you don't know it with a bit of clout!
[PRE-CHORUS]
[BOTH]
[F]The less you have to sell, the harder you sell it!
T[F#dim]he less you have to say, the louder you yell it!
[G]The dumber the act, the bigger the confession!
