[PANGLOSS]

[CANDIDE, CUNEGONDE, MAXIMILIAN & PAQUETTE]
Once one dismisses
The rest of all possible worlds

For everything under the sun

[CANDIDE]

[MAXIMILLIAN]
Objection!
What about snakes?

[PANGLOSS]
Snakes!
'Twas Snake that tempted mother Eve
Because of Snake we now believe
That though depraved
We can be saved
From hellfire and damnation

[CANDIDE, CUNEGONDE, MAXIMILIAN & PAQUETTE]
Because of Snake's temptation!

[PANGLOSS]
If Snake had not seduced our lot
And primed us for salvation
Jehovah could not pardon all
The sins that we call cardinal
Involving bed and bottle

[PANGLOSS, CANDIDE, CUNEGONDE, MAXIMILIAN & PAQUETTE]

All men are brothers

Do unto others

This best of all possible worlds

[CANDIDE]
Objection!
What about war?

[PANGLOSS]
War!
Though war may seem a bloody curse
It is a blessing in reverse
When cannon roar
Both rich and poor
By danger are united

[MAXIMILIAN]
'Til every wrong is righted

[PANGLOSS]
Philosophers make evident
The point that I have cited
'Tis war makes equal, as it were
The noble and the commoner
Thus war improves relations

[PANGLOSS, CANDIDE, CUNEGONDE, MAXIMILIAN & PAQUETTE]
