All For The Best

When you feel sad, or under a curse
 Your life is bad, your prospects are worse
 Your wife is sighing, crying
 And your olive tree is dying
 Temples are graying, and teeth are decaying
 And creditors weighing your purse
 Your mood and your robe
 Are both a deep blue
 You'd bet that Job
 Had nothing on you
 Don't forget that when you get to
 Heaven you'll be blessed
 Yes, it's all for the best
 Some men are born to live at ease, doing what they please
 Richer than the bees are in honey
 Never growing old, never feeling cold
 Pulling pots of gold from thin air
 The best in every town, best at shaking down
 Best at making mountains of money
 They can't take it with them, but what do they care?
 They get the center of the meat, cushions on the seat
 Houses on the street where it's sunny
 Summers at the sea, winters warm and free
 All of this and we get the rest
 But who is the land for, the sun and the sand for?
 You guessed! It's all for the best
