chorus of opera north - progress كلمات أغنية

[male octet]
one time this was a very quiet planet
the reason was n0body was around
but then one day, jehovah, who began it
got bored and clamped a couple on the ground
and right away when man and woman came here
they took a peek and nature took its course
he said, “i love you” and she answered, “same here”

[soloist]
and love became the greatest human force

[male octet]
and from then and through the ages
it was love, love, lovе!
from the peasants to the sagеs
it was love, love, love!

[soloist]
man and woman soon discover
when they set out to explore
all the world loves a lover
but a lover loves it more

[male octet]
everybody was devoted to it:
love, love, love!
until they all were bloated with it:
love, love, love, love, love, love, love!
for suddenly the mind of man was changing
he started moving on in greater haste
and perspectives took a drastic rearranging
for love and home had finally been replaced
they discovered something better than affection
far more rugged that a hug’d ever be
and they started in a happier direction
leaving love beneath the good old apple tree

[soloist 1]
what is this thing that’s better than spring?

[soloist 2]
what thing is this that’s better than a kiss?

[soloist 3]
what is the “x” that’s bigger than s_x?

[male octet]
what could it be? what could it be? what could it be?

it’s progress
where every man can be a king
why, next to progress
love’s a juvenile thing
yes, with progress
your chance to hit the top is great
one year you may need a loan
and the following year you own new york state
yes, it’s progress
now that’s the life for you
where you can make a pile a day
oh, it’s incred’ what you can do
why, next to progress
you don’t need brains at all
love is dull as croquet
just a h_lluva lot of gall

yes, with progress
a tom, or d_ck, or hank
why, there’s a world to make and hold
might any day buy up a bank
you start a clerk underneath
and the following year your t__th are all gold

[soloist 1]
one day the prices begin to soar

[soloist 2]
you made a living, now you need more

[soloist 3]
you’re getting frantic

[soloist 4]
you’re running short
[soloist 5]
you have a family

[soloist 6]
you must support

[soloist 7]
and when you think it’ll never stop
there is a sudden awful drop

[male octet]
it’s a panic!
it’s a recession!
it’s a depression!
it’s a crash!

it’s progress
the greatest thing there’ll ever be
why, next to progress
love’s a cup of warm tea
yes, it’s progress
where any cluck can make a buck
you buy a few shares of stock
and the following day—

[soloist 1]
the markets crumble!
the prices crack!

[soloist 2]
and down you tumble
upon your back!

[soloist 3]
you’re overextended

[soloist 4]
you have no slack

[soloist 5]
it can’t be mended

[soloist 6]
you can’t turn back

[soloist 7]
and you are out in a growing mob
without a dime, without a job

[male octet]
it’s a panic!
it’s a recession!
it’s a depression!
it’s a crash!

it’s progress
where every man can own the skies
to win with progress
just industrialize
yes, it’s progress
the only way to happiness
no greater love could there be
than for p_r_o_g_r_e_double_s!
