Plan Ahead (take 1) (alternate version)
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!"
