The Mystery of Edwin Drood movie - Don't Quit While You're Ahead lyrics
rate me<br>
Once I bet my last ten pence - and won<br>
Twice as rich then, friends said, "Call it done!"<br>
"How sad", I said.<br>
"So that's your wildest dream, eh, then...<br>
Twenty pence instead of ten?"<br>
I doubled up my bet again!<br>
<br>
In life you start the same as when you're done:<br>
If you lose, you're just where you've begun -<br>
If you've won, don't quit while you're ahead,<br>
Just press your blessed luck instead!<br>
<br>
Don't try to think what move might be best;<br>
Use the heart that beats within your breast.<br>
Never rest! Don't quit while you're ahead.<br>
Sing out:<br>
<br>
"There's more in store for me!"<br>
I see my dream ship fin'lly comin' in<br>
Like a steam ship anch'rin in to win!<br>
Lift your chin! Remember what I said<br>
Don't quit while you're ahead, let go!<br>
I know there must be love that's yet to be<br>
Only just three winks away from me<br>
Hopefully...<br>
Don't quit while you're ahead!<br>
Don't worry how you tread! Who cares?<br>
And there's the chance! One pipe dream <br>
that is mine<br>
A romance just ripe on the vine<br>
Don't resign!<br>
Neville, Crisparkle, Rosa, Helena, Alice & Beatrice:<br>
No victor ever fled!<br>
Don't quite you're ahead to stay!<br>
Ta-ray- ta-rah!<br>
Boom!<br>
Bang it, bash it, Hoo-ray-ha-rah!<br>
Boom!<br>
Clang it, clash it, oo-la-dee-dah!<br>
Don't quite while you're ahead!<br>
Don't say "I'm off to bed, farewell!"<br>
Full well I know!<br>
Don't let the moment go to waste<br>
Not with the vic'try close enough to taste!<br>
Heed the call with all due haste!<br>
For God's own sake!<br>
So raise the stake, you struck a lucky vein!<br>
Never break through any lucky chain!<br>
The refrain: "Don't quit while you're ahead,"<br>
As eas'ly done as said, you'll see:<br>
Ta-rah-ta-ree!<br>
Boom!<br>
Bang it, bash it, oo, glory be!<br>
Boom!<br>
Clang it, clash it, oo-lah-dee-dee!<br>
Don't quit while you're ahead<br>
Sing out, "There's more in store for me!"<br>
<br>
