Stephen Schwartz - Learn You Lessons Well lyrics

rate me

I can see a swath of sinners setting yonder

and they're acting like a pack of fools

Gazing into space they let their minds wander

instead of studying the good Lord's rules

You better pay attention, build your comprehension

There's gonna be a quiz at your ascension

Not to mention any threat of hell!

You'd better start to learn your lessons well!

Every bright description of the promised land

means you can get there 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 Elijah said to Jezabel,

'You'd better start to learn your lessons well!'
