Good And Evil

Jekyll and Hyde

Composed by: Leslie Bricusse
Good and evil 
And their merits 
Men have argued through history 
As well they should!
My philosophy 
Any child can see 
"Good is evil 
And therefore
All evil is good"

How do you tell evil from good?
Evil does well - good not so good!
Evil's the one that is free everywhere 
Good is the one that they sell!
You must decide which is heaven 
Which is hell!

Good maintain evil's a curse! 
But it is plain good's even worse!
Evil's the one that they tell you to shun 
Good is the one to embrace
Say that and Satan will laugh right in your face!

The battle between good and evil
Goes back to the start 
Adam and Eve and the apple tore Eden apart!
The key thing about good 'n' evil 
Each man has to choose! 
Heaven 'n' hell
Is a helluva gamble to lose! 
But as I peruse
This world we abuse 
It's hell that we choose 
And heaven must lose!

Evil is everywhere 
Good doesn't have a prayer!
Good is commendable 
Evil's dependable!
Evil is viable
Good's unreliable!
Good may be thankable!
Evil is bankable!

Evil's for me - you can have good!
Doesn't suit me to be Robin Hood!
S'easier by far, from the way that things are,
To remain good 'n' evil
Than try to be evil and good!
