All for the Best Songtext

All for the Best Songtext
When you feel sad
Or under a curse
Your life is bad
Your prospects are worse
You wife is sighing, crying,
And your olive tree is dying
Devils are greying and teeth are decaying
And predators wait in your purse
Your mood and your robe
Are both a deep blue
You bet that Job
Had nothing on you
Don′t forget that
When you get to heaven you'll be blessed
Yes, it′s all for the best!
(Judas)
Some men are born to live at ease
Doing what they please
Richer than the bees are in honey
Never growing old, never feeling cold
Pulling pots of gold from thin air
The best in every town, best in shaking down
Best in making mountains of money
They can't take it with them
But what to they care?
They get the center of the mead
Pushing down the seed (?)
Houses on the street where its sunny
Summers at the sea
Which is warm and free
All of this and we get the rest
But who is the land for?
The sun and the sun for?
You guessed!
Its all for the best!
(Duet)
When you feel sad/Some men are born to live at ease
Doing what they please
Or under a curse/richer than the bees are in honey
Your life is bad/never growing old, never feeling cold
You prospects are worse/pulling pots of gold from thin air
Your wife is sighing, cyring,/the best in every town, best in shaking down
And your olive tree is dying/best in making mountains of money
Devils are greying and teeth are decaying/they can't take it with them
And predators wait in your purse/but what to they care?
Your mood and your robe/they get the center of the mead
Pushing down the seed (?)
Are both a deep blue (yessir)/houses on the street where its sunny
You bet that Job/summers at the sea
Which is warm and free
Had nothing on you (no he don′t)/all of this and we get the rest
But when you get to/but who is the land for?
Heaven you′ll be blessed!/the sun and the sun for?
(Judas)
You guessed!
(Jesus)
Yes!
(Both)
It's all for the best!
(Background "mm′s while in movie there is dialouge)
(Dance break!)
(Ok get ready because it gets wicked fast)
(Duet in ensemble)
