Plan Ahead - Allan Sherman

Plan ahead!

Plan ahead!

That’s what the wise man said

Success is hard to win, but you can win it

If you do a lot of thinking in advance and make the necessary

Preparations and don’t leave

Everything to be crowded into the very last minute

Plan ahead!

In advance

Don’t leave a thing to chance

And if you want to wind up rich and famous

Just be careful and meticulous in everything you do and just make sure

Your work is not slip-shod or

Sloppy or negligent or else people will go around saying you are an

Ignoramus

So… so…

Insist on absolute perfection

And do all your things perfectly

If you strive day and night

In a long time you might

Be almost as perfect as me

As I

For the toughest things in life are never easy

Where’s the next part of the music?

Does an… who's got the next part of the music?

(I got it, I got it.)

Oh, oh thanks

Plan ahead!

Plan ahead!

Do what the wise man said

Just remember in a thousand years we’ll all be dead

So plan, plan ahead!

Oh the wise man’s dead, but before he died he said

«Plan ahead, plan ahead, plan… ahead!»
