Best of All ( Possible Worlds (From Candide)

Which just goes to prove that everything is for the best in this best of all possible worlds

Of which, if I may say so, Westphalia is the center

Look at this view, mountains and towers

Green meadows, too, bursting with flowers

This is the heart of this best of all possible worlds

Quite the best part of this best of all possible worlds

Yes, it's the heart of this best of all possible worlds

Much the best part of this best of all possible worlds

Our men are lean, handsome and active

Where have you seen girls more attractive?

None has more grace in this best of all possible worlds

No finer race in this best of all possible worlds

No finer race in this best of all possible worlds

No better place in this best of all possible worlds

But best of all, we now convene with keen anticipation

To watch a happy wedding scene and have a celebration

A happy celebration

All hail the groom and bride, of whom our hearts could not be fonder

The love that reigns in Heaven above is mirrored in the marriage of Candide and Cunegonde

Candide and Cunegonde

Wherefore and hence, therefore and ergo

Wherefore and hence, therefore and ergo

All's for the best in this best of all possible worlds

All's for the best in this best of all possible worlds

Any questions? Ask without fear

I've all the answers here

Dear master, I am sure you're right, that married life is splendid

But why do married people fight? I cannot comprehend it

She cannot comprehend it

The private strife of man and wife is useful to the nation

It is a harmless outlet for emotions that could lead to war or social agitation

A brilliant explanation

Therefore, it's true, no man may doubt it

Therefore, it's true, no doubt about it

Marriage is blest in this best of all possible worlds

All's for the best in this best of all possible worlds

Next question? Deep though it be

There's none too deep for me

Since marriage is divine, of course, we cannot understand, sir

Why there should be so much divorce, do let us know the answer

Do let us know the answer

Why, marriage, boy, is such a joy, so lovely a condition

That many ask no better than to wed as often as they can, in happy repetition

A brilliant exposition

Wherefore and hence, therefore and ergo

Wherefore and hence, therefore and ergo

All's for the best in this best of all possible worlds

All's for the best in this best of all possible worlds

A brilliant exposition! Q-E-D

A brilliant exposition! Q-E-D

A brilliant exposition! Q-E-D

All's for the best, all's for the best

A brilliant exposition! All's for the best

A brilliant exposition!

A brilliant exposition

In this best of all possible, possible, possible worlds!

A brilliant exposition!

Q! E! D!
