Learn Your Lessons Well Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz

Godspell (New Broadway Cast Recording)

2011

[SOCRATES]
I can see a swath of sinners sittin' yonder
And they're actin' like a pack of fools
Gazin' into space they let their minds wander
'Stead of studyin' the good Lord's rules
You better pay attention
Build your comprehension
There's gonna be a quiz at your ascention
Not to mention any threat of hell
But if you're smart you'll learn your lessons well!
Every bright description of the promised land ment
You can reach it if you keep alert
Learnin' every line and every last commandment
May not help you but it couldn't hurt
First ya gotta read 'em then ya gotta heed 'em
You never know when you're gonna need 'em
Just as old Elijah said to Jezebel
You better start to learn your lessons well!
[JESUS]
The lamp of the body is the eye
If your eye is bad
Your whole body will be darkness
And if darkness is all around
Your soul will will be double unbright
But if your eye is sound
Your whole body will be filled with light
Your whole body will be filled with light
Your whole body will be filled with light
[SOCRATES]
I can see a swath of sinners settin' yonder
And they're acting like a pack of fools
Oooh
Gazing into space they let their minds wander
Stead of studying the good Lord's rules
You better pay attention
Build your comprehension
There's gonna be a quiz at your ascension
Not to mention any threat of hell
Not to mention any threat of hell
Just as old Elijah said to Jezebel
You better start to learn your lessons well!
Yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!
You better start to learn your lessons well!
Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah yeah!
