Oh Mr. Pleasant
            Dm
How is Mrs. Pleasant?

                    Am
I hope the world is treating you right
         G
And your head's in the air
           C
And you're feeling so proud
              Am
'Cause you're such a success
        F                   E
And the whole wide world is on your side
    D(sus2)
Hey hey
              Dm(sus2)
How are you today?

  People say Mr. Pleasant is good
  Mr. Pleasant is kind
  Mr. Pleasant's okay
  Mr. Pleasant don't mind
  As long as Mr. Pleasant's all right, hey hey
  How are you today?

E          d       c♯         b       A          g♯      f♯         e
How's your father, how's your mother, how's your sister, how's your brother?
E          d         c♯   b     A      g♯        f♯  e
How's your brand new limousine, twenty-four inch TV screen?
F♯      e       d♯  c♯  B         a♯        g♯   f♯
Did you like prosperity more than you liked poverty?
E                                              A
Life is easier, so much easier, life is easier now

Oh Mr. Pleasant
How is Mrs. Pleasant?

Did you know she was flirting around
With another young man
And he's taking her out
When you have to work late?
And it's not so pleasant after all, hey hey
How are you today?

  Refrain  w/ (Mr. Pleasant is good)
              (Mr. Pleasant is kind)
              (Mr. Pleasant's oka-a-a-a-ay)
