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!
