The Worst is Yet to Come Lyrics

by Neil Innes

AND THE SKY STANDS TO ATTENTION WAITING FOR THE SIGN
AND THE MOON CALLS TO HER WARRIORS AND THE WARRIORS FALL IN LINE
AND THE SKY AND THE MOON AND THE WARRIORS MOVE SLOWLY INTO BATTLE
'TIS US YOU HEAR WHEN THE BREATHING FAILS AND THE HEART BEGINS TO RATTLE

And the worst is yet to come
The worst is yet to come
Yes the worst is yet to come

Famine, fire, upheaval
Civil war and hate
The people scream for mercy
But their screaming comes too late
The sea throws up its corpses
The air is dank and stale
Archipelagos of bellies
Salmon, shark and whale

There is thunder underground and the sun goes round and round
There is thunder underground and the sun goes round and round
There is thunder underground and the sun goes round and rou-hou-hound!

And the worst is yet to come
The worst is yet to come
THE WORST IS YET TO COME
AND THE WORST IS YET TO COME

But the...

Goody-goody good times
Outnumber the bad times!
Everybody knows...
So today,
We'll laugh and be happy!
Tip tippy tip tappy!
And chase all the blues away!
Pass the Veras,
We'll chase all the blues away...

Lets jazz!!!
