Good people, just a moment

Lyrics

[TOM, ANNE, NICK, TRULOVE, AND BABA] Good people, just a moment Though our story now is ended There's the moral to draw From what you saw Since the curtain first ascended [ANNE] Not every rake is rescued At the last by Love and Beauty Not every man Is given an Anne To take the place of Duty [BABA] Let Baba warn the ladies: You will find out soon or later That, good or bad All men are mad All they say or do is theater [TOM] Beware, young men who fancy You are Virgil or Julius Caesar Lest when you wake You be only a rake [TRULOVE] I heartily agree, sir! [NICK] Day in, day out, poor Shadow Must do as he is bidden Many insist I do not exist At times I wish I didn't [ALL] So let us sing as one At all times in all lands Beneath the moon and sun This proverb has proved true Since Eve went out with Adam For idle hands And hearts and minds The Devil finds A work to do A work, dear sir, fair madam For you and you
