Hope for the best, expect the worst - Mel Brooks

Hope for the best, expect the worst
Some drink champagne, some die of thirst
No way of knowing which way it's 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, friends
while others drop, friends
Hope for the best, expect the worst!

I knew a man who saved a fortune that was splendid
Then he died the day he'd 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 Fannie Hurst
You 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'd planned to go and spend it,
Shouting "Live while you're alive! No one will survive!"
Life is funny —Spend your money! 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, friends
the deck is stacked, friends

Hope for the best, expect the...

Even with a good beginning, it's not certain that you're winning
Even with the best of chances, they can kick you in the pantses

Look out for the...
Watch out for the...

worst!

Hey!
