All for the Best

When you feel sad

Or under a curse

Your life is bad

Your prospects are worse

Your wife is sighing crying

And your olive tree is dying

Temples are graying and teeth are decaying

And creditors weighing your purse

Your mood and your robe

Are both a deep blue

You'd bet that job

Had nothin' on you

Don't forget that when you get to

Heaven you'll be blessed

Yes it's all for the best

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 at shaking down

Best at making mountains of money

They can't take it with them but what do they

Care

They get the center of the meat cushions on the

Seat

Houses on the street where it's sunny

Summers at the sea winters warm and free

All of this and we get the rest

But who is the land for the sun and the

Sand for

You guessed it's all for the best

When you feel sad

Or under a curse

Your life is bad

Your prospects

Your wife is sighing crying

And your olive tree is dying

Temples are graying and teeth are decaying

And creditors weighing your purse

Your mood and your robe

Are both a deep blue

You'd bet that job

Had nothin' on you

Don't forget that when you

Go to heaven you'll be

Blessed

You guessed it's all for the

Judas

When you feel sad

Or under a curse

Your life is bad

Your prospects are worse

Your wife is crying sighing

And your olive tree is dying

Temples are graying and teeth are decaying

And creditors weighing your purse

Your mood and your robe

Are both a deep blue

You'd bet that job

Had nothin' on you

Don't forget that when you

Go to heaven you'll be

Blessed

You guessed it's all for the

You must never be distressed

Yes it's all for the

All your wrongs will be redressed

Yes it's all for the

Someone's got to be oppressed

Yes it's all for the best
