Stephen Schwartz - Learn You Lessons Well Lyrics

I can see a swath of sinners setting yonder

and they're acting like a pack fools

Gazing into space they let their minds all wander

insted of studying the good lords rules

You better pay attention, build your comprehension

There's gonna be a quiz at you ascention

Not to mention any threat of hell!

You'd better start to learn your lessons well!



Every bright description of the promise land

meant you could reach it 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 Eliziah said to Jezabel,

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