Make the Most of This World Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse

Scrooge

0

(Verse)
See the phantoms filling the sky around you
They astound you
I can tell
These inhabitants of Hell
Poor wretches whom the hand of Heaven ignores
Beware, beware, beware lest their dreadful fate be yours
(Chorus 1)
Make the most of this world
The next world is worse
If you think life is miserable now
And the life to come is better somehow
Better put all your thinking in rеverse
And make thе most of this world
For the next world is far, far worse
(Chorus 2)
Make the most of this life
The next life's a curse
The man who kicks the present aside
In a quest for things life doesn't provide
Better know now his theory is perverse
And make the most of this life
For the next life is far, far worse
(Bridge)
Let's talk about Heaven a minute
Men dream of it from birth
Heaven, you idiot
You're in it on Earth
(Chorus 3)
So make the most of living
For dying is worse
At times you'll say life isn't worthwhile
But there's more to life than traveling in style
It's better to walk than ride inside of a hearse
So make the most of this world
Embrace the universe
For I guarantee the next world is far, far worse
