[Verse 1]
C                                                   E7
Who coulda known that you would be so calm within calamity
    A7                                       Dm                 G
For now you've shown us your confidence just grows when under siege
C                                                               E7
Who would have guessed when you were distressed it would be your policy
            A7                                                     Dm            G
To put your back to the ropes and then by cracking a joke knock us out with comedy
 
[Chorus]
     Ab     G                            C            A7
Well oh no, who woulda known you were so clever to define
  F             Ab             C   A7
Disaster equals laughter over time
  F             Ab
Disaster equals laughter over time
 
C E7 A7 Dm G
 
[Verse 2]
  C                                             E7
I have to admit that I was tempted to believe I might be wrong
        A7                                                    Dm                 G
When we bound and gagged ya and ya started to brag that you'd planned this all along
    C                                                                      E7
But quickly we learned when you were burned you would return with words to prove you're tough enough
       A7                                                       Dm               G
But you failed the test, (now confess) call in distress, (S.O.S) because British called your bluff
 
[Chorus]
     Ab     G                             C                 A7
Well oh no, who woulda known that in this lowly state you'd find
  F             Ab             C   A7
Disaster equals laughter over time
  F             Ab
Disaster equals laughter over time

I pray in your haste that you would not waste, a thimble of this irony
           A7                                                    Dm      G
That these land-loving soldiers have a whale on their shoulders, Maximilian Von Spee
 
[Chorus]
     Ab     G                        C             A7
Well oh no, who woulda known that is all as you designed
  F             Ab           C A7
Disaster equals laughter over time
  F             Ab           C A7
Disaster equals laughter over time
  F             Ab
Disaster equals laughter over time
