"Learn Your Lessons Well"
I can see a swath of sinners setting yonder
And they're acting like a pack fools
Gazing into space they let their minds all wander
Insted of studying the good lords rules
You better pay attention, build your comprehension
There's gonna be a quiz at you ascention
Not to mention any threat of hell!
You'd better start to learn your lessons well!
Every bright description of the promise land
Meant you could reach it if you keep alert.
Learning every line and every last commandment
May not help you but it couldn't hurt.
First you gotta read 'em, then you gotta heed 'em,
You never know when you're gonna need 'em.
Just as Old Eliziah said to Jezabel,
'You'd better start to learn your lessons well'!
Godspell (1971)
