Lyrics

Beppo: Though folks there be

Who never foresee

That the future holds anything pleasant;

Who grimly cast

Their eyes on the past,

And who gaze all aghast at the present!

The golden rule

For sage or fool,

For prince and poet and peasant,

Is, come what may,

At work or play,

To live—just live for today!

Sing hey! Sing ho!

There’s no time like the present!

Sing ho! Sing hey!

There’s no day like today!

Brigands: Sing hey! Sing ho!

There’s no time like the present!

Sing ho! Sing hey!

There’s no day like today!

Beppo: When man’s depressed,

Not feeling his best,

He’ll lament over yesterday’s sorrow,

And brood, what’s more,

On worries galore

That the fates have in store for the morrow.

Yet man has pow’r

From ev’ry hour

Some gleams of sunshine to borrow;

So don’t delay

But find a way

To make the most of today!

Sing hey! Sing ho!

Take no thought for the morrow!

Sing ho! Sing hey!

Live, just live for today!

Brigands: Sing hey! Sing ho!

Take no thought for the morrow!

Sing ho! Sing hey!

Live, just live for today!
