| Stravinsky: The Rake's Progress / Act 3 / Epilogue - "Good people, just a moment" |
|---|
| Good people, just a moment |
| Though our story now is ended |
| There’s the moral to draw |
| From what you saw |
| Since the curtain first ascended |
| Not every rake is rescued |
| At the last by Love and Beauty |
| Not every man |
| Is given an Anne |
| To take the place of Duty |
| Let Baba warn the ladies: |
| You will find out soon or later |
| That, good or bad |
| All men are mad |
| All they say or do is theater |
| Beware, young men who fancy |
| You are Virgil or Julius Caesar |
| Lest when you wake |
| You be only a rake |
| I heartily agree, sir! |
| Day in, day out, poor Shadow |
| Must do as he is bidden |
| Many insist |
| I do not exist |
| At times I wish I didn’t |
| So let us sing as one |
| At all times in all lands |
| Beneath the moon and sun |
| This proverb has proved true |
| Since Eve went out with Adam |
| For idle hands |
| And hearts and minds |
| The Devil finds |
| A work to do |
| A work, dear sir, fair madam |
| For you and you |
