Candide movie - Finale: Make Our Garden Grow lyrics
rate me<br>
CANDIDE<br>
You've been a fool<br>
And so have I,<br>
But come and be my wife.<br>
And let us try,<br>
Before we die,<br>
To make some sense of life.<br>
We're neither pure, nor wise, nor good<br>
We'll do the best we know.<br>
We'll build our house and chop our wood<br>
And make our garden grow...<br>
And make our garden grow.<br>
<br>
CUNEGONDE<br>
I thought the world<br>
Was sugar cake<br>
For so our master said.<br>
But, now I'll teach<br>
My hands to bake<br>
Our loaf of daily bread.<br>
<br>
CANDIDE AND CUNEGONDE<br>
We're neither pure, nor wise, nor good<br>
We'll do the best we know.<br>
We'll build our house and chop our wood<br>
And make our garden grow...<br>
And make our garden grow.<br>
<br>
(ensemble enters in gardening gear and a cow walks on)<br>
<br>
CANDIDE, CUNEGONDE, MAXIMILLIAN, PAQUETTE, OLD LADY, DR. PANGLOSS<br>
Let dreamers dream<br>
What worlds they please<br>
Those Edens can't be found.<br>
The sweetest flowers,<br>
The fairest trees<br>
Are grown in solid ground.<br>
<br>
ENSEMBLE (a cappella)<br>
We're neither pure, nor wise, nor good<br>
We'll do the best we know.<br>
We'll build our house and chop our wood<br>
And make our garden grow.<br>
And make our garden grow!<br>
<br>
(The cow dies)<br>
<br>
VOLTAIRE<br>
Ah, me! The pox!<br>
<br>
