Paragraph two<br>

Axion seven<br>

<br>

PANGLOSS:<br>

Once one dismisses<br>

The rest of all possible worlds<br>

One finds that this is<br>

The best of all possible worlds!<br>

<br>

STUDENTS:<br>

Once one dismisses<br>

The rest of all possible worlds<br>

One finds that this is<br>

The best of all possible worlds!<br>

<br>

PANGLOSS:<br>

Pray classify<br>

Pigeons and camels<br>

<br>

MAXIMILLIAN:<br>

Pigeons can fly!<br>

<br>

PAQUETTE:<br>

Camels are mammals!<br>

<br>

PANGLOSS:<br>

There is a reason <br>

For everything under the sun!<br>

<br>

CANDIDE:<br>

There is a reason <br>

For everything under the sun!<br>

<br>

MAXIMILLIAN:<br>

Objection!<br>

What about snakes?<br>

<br>

PANGLOSS:<br>

Snakes!<br>

'Twas snake that tempted mother Eve<br>

Because of snake we now believe<br>

That though depraved<br>

We can be saved<br>

>From hellfire and damnation<br>

(Because of snake's temptation!)<br>

<br>

If snake had not seduced our lot<br>

And primed us for salvation<br>

Jehova could not pardon all<br>

The sins that we call cardinal<br>

Involving bed and bottle!<br>

<br>

ALL<br>

Now onto Aristotle!<br>

<br>

PANGLOSS<br>

Mankind is one<br>

All men are brothers!<br>

<br>

As you'd have done<br>

Do unto others!<br>

It's understood in<br>

This best of all possible worlds--<br>

MAXIMILLIAN<br>

All's for the good in<br>

This best of all possible worlds!<br>

<br>

CANDIDE:<br>

Objection!<br>

What about war?<br>

<br>

PANGLOSS:<br>

War!<br>

Though war may seem a bloody curse<br>

It is a blessing in reverse<br>

When canon roar<br>

Both rich and poor<br>

By danger are united!<br>

(Till every wrong is righted!)<br>

<br>

Philosophers make evident <br>

The point that I have cited<br>

'Tis war makes equal -- as it were --<br>

The noble and the commoner<br>

Thus war improves relations!<br>

<br>

ALL:<br>

Now onto conjugations!<br>

<br>

PANGLOSS:<br>

Amo, amas,<br>

Amat, amamus!<br>

<br>

STUDENTS:<br>

Amo, amas,<br>

Amat, amamus!<br>

PANGLOSS:<br>

Proving that this is<br>

The best of all possible worlds<br>

With love and kisses [blows a kiss]<br>

The best of all possible worlds!<br>

Proving that this is<br>
