Текст песни Mel Brooks — Hope For The Best, Expect The Worst

Hope for the best, expect the worst,
Some drink champagne, some die of thirst.
No way of knowing which way we're going,
Hope for the best, expect the worst.
Hope for the best, expect the worst,
The world's a stage, we're unrehearsed.
Some reach the top, friend, while others flop, friend,
Hope for the best, expect the worst.
I knew a man who saved a fortune that was splendid
Then he died the day he planned to go and spend it
Shouting, Live while you're alive!
No one will survive!
Life is sorrow, here today and gone tomorrow
Live while you're alive
No one will survive
There's no guarantee.
Hope for the best, expect the worst,
You could be Tolstoy, or Fanny Hurst
So take your chances, there are no answers,
Hope for the best, expect the worst.
I knew a man who saved a fortune that was splendid
Then he died the day he planned to go and spend it shouting.
Live while you're alive!
No one will survive!
Life is funny, drink your wine and spend your money
Live while you're alive
No one will survive
There's no guarantee.
Hope for the best, expect the worst,
The rich are blessed, the poor are cursed.
That is a fact, friend. The deck is stacked, friend.
Hope for the best, expect the worst.
Even with a good beginning
It's not certain that you're winning
Even with the best of chances
Fate can kick you in the pantses
Look out for the
Watch out for the
Worst
