    Four

    Of the wonderful things that you get outta life, there are four.
    Baby and there may not be many, but nobody needs any more.

    Of the many facts making the list of life, truth takes the lead
    And to relax, knowing the gist of life, it’s truth you need.

    And the second is honour and happiness makes number three.


    When you put them together you'll know what the last one must be.

    Baby so the truth, honour and happiness and one thing more
    Meaning only wonderful, wonderful love that'll make it four!

    Don't you know the score?


    Well. people, when they’re younger, never realise the pleasure-treasure life’s got.
    But, as they grow older, realise a lot.
    They got their minds on all the wrongest scenes
    And things that cost a lotta money, but it’s really very funny; they fade away and don’t amount to a hill o’beans
    Funny how the things in life we really should adore we forget, or ignore - end up poor.
    Spent a lot on time on money and madness and end up in sadness.
    Youth is the time when we should see the light
    Cause when we’re old wasted, the dues for what we’ve tasted run so high that we pay ‘till we die,
    Then we know that youth that made us strong is wasted on the young.
    So enjoy it gaily. Love life, and live it daily,
    You’ll find a lot of things to bring you joy and give peace of mind.
    Get it while the gettin’s good, ‘cause everybody, if they only would,
    Life would be a set, life would be a groovy set-groovy as a movie.
    Wail! Wail! Let your voice be heard. Spread the word!
    Everybody here’s got ears
    Only gotta teach ‘em how to use em, not abuse ‘em
    So take a tip from me: the world’s everything it oughta be
    As long as you can be sure there is no more to life than same ol’ four.

    Hard to believe, I know, but time will show


    That even though you think it’s boresome, two-and-two together constitute a foursome!
    That’s all, four is the figure. That’s all, ain’t gonna be gettin’ any bigger.
    Doesn’t matter how you slice it up, you’ll never change it.
    You count everything that fate throws into life pot, still really four is all you’ve got.
    Haven’t they told you about he little pleasures that are part of all the rest?
    You love a little and live a little and take a little and give a lot - still the total is happiness.
    But that’s only one, you’ve just begun; there’s gonna be more.
    After this are truth and honour shinin’ and love combinin’ to make it four
    - No more!

    Instrumental

    Baby so the truth, honour and happiness and one thing more
    Meaning of an ask the(?) real score and more!
    (more - just four - no more)
    Then enough of time to talk (?), and four they may command a lot, still you only got those four!
    Four - There ain’t no more, ain’t no more, ain’t no more…
