This is a filk of the song by the same name from the Lerner and 
Loewe musical "Paint Your Wagon."

I dedicate this filk to Susan Miller. a.k.a. Constance Vigilance.


                       Best Things

SCENE:  The Weasley Twins wax philosophical, but ever practical—
especially when it comes to jokes. 

FRED:
It's good when you laugh

GEORGE:
Laughing is fun

FRED: 
Or play a nice prank

GEORGE: 
Pranks are so bold

FRED: 
They make you guffaw

GEORGE: 
A guffaw and a half

FRED: 
On that we can bank

GEORGE:
Bank lots of gold
'Cause now all you blokes
>From us can buy jokes.

FRED:
The wheezes, we got a pot of
And if you want a spot of
At Ninety-Three, there's a lot of

GEORGE:
Just waitin' to sell, the dungbombs sure smell;
C'mon, give `em hell! 


FRED and GEORGE:
The best things in life are funny
And nothing in life  will 


FRED:
Put you at ease as good as a wheeze 

FRED and GEORGE:
The best things in life are Weasleys' Wizarding
Wheezes:  jokes, jokes, jokes.

FRED:
There's more than just jokes

GEORGE:
Jokes are enough

FRED:
There's fireworks too 

GEORGE:
Beautiful jokes

FRED:
In two different packs 

GEORGE:
Lovable jokes

FRED:
Just waitin' for you

FRED and GEORGE:
Saleable jokes
A man has his creed
And ours is all greed
 
We'll sell you our Canary Creams
To satisfy your pranking schemes
A galleon buys you laughs and screams 

FRED:
Those tricks with panache
We'll sell in a flash
Just give us the cash
 

FRED and GEORGE:
The best things in life are funny
The worst thing in life is...

GEORGE: 
Slavin' all day; all work, no play 


FRED and GEORGE:
The best things in life are Weasleys' Wizarding
Wheezes:  jokes, jokes, jokes,
The best things in life are funny
The worst thing in life is...
Life in a rut, without a knut.
The best things is life are Weasleys' Wizarding
Wheezes: jokes, jokes, jokes, jokes.
Shelves upon shelves full of
Sneaky, clever, howlingly funny
Jokes
