Five Forever
[Jo, spoken]
I want to declare before everyone
Before the world
That on this day of forgiveness and joy

That you, Theodore Lawrence the Third
Who has valiantly lost all contest to me
I declare you our brother
The brother we never had

(sung)
Swear to us your greatest oath of loyalty
An oath as dazzling as your charms

[Laurie]
I swear I'll follow you like royalty!

[Amy, Meg & Beth]
Come wear our royal coat of arms!

[Jo]
From now on we are joined
And we shall not be parted
From this day on its all for one
And one for all for life!
[Laurie]
We'll live like musketeers!

[Amy, Meg & Beth]
Together we'll prevail!

[All]
We'll be five for all forever from now on!

[Beth]
Now each of us must swear for all eternity
Our bond shall never be undone!

[Amy, Jo, Meg & Laurie]
Nothing shall sever this fraternity!

[All]
We'll always live and die as one

From now on we are joined
And we shall not be parted

[Jo]
From this day on it's all for one

[All]
And one for all for life!
[Jo]
Together we will fight

[Laurie]
Your battles will be mine!

[All]
We'll be five for all forever from now on!

[Girls, spoken]
Speech! Speech!

[Laurie, (Girls)]
On this wonderful day (It's wonderful!)
One I'll never forget (Never forget, ah...!)
I am honored to say I am yours !

[All]
From this day on we swear
That we shall not be parted
From this day on, no matter what
We're five for all for life

We'll conquer every foe

[Jo]
With our brother by our side
[Meg, spoken]
And if John Brooke were here
He'd be our brother too

[Laurie, spoken]
Meg's in love....

[Jo, sung]
We'll consider any friend!

[Laurie, sung]
We'll be loyal to the end!

[Girls]
We'll be five for all forever

[Laurie]
We'll be five for all forever

[All]
We'll be five for all
Forever from now on
And on and on...

FROM NOW ON!
