Lyrics:Stephen Sondheim Music:Stephen Sondheim | |
Once upon a time I had plenty of nothing, | |
Which was fine with me. | |
Because I had rhythm, music, love, | |
The sun, the stars and the moon above, | |
Had the clear blue sky and the deep blue sea. | |
That was when the best things in life were free. | |
Then time went by and now I got plenty of plenty, | |
Which is fine with me. | |
'Cause I still got love, I still got rhythm, | |
But look at what I got to go with 'em. | |
'Who could ask for anything more?', I hear you query. | |
Who would ask for anything more? Well, let me tell you, dearie. | |
Got my diamonds, got my yacht, got a guy I adore. | |
I'm so happy with what I got, I want more! | |
Count your blessings, one, two, three | |
I just hate keeping score. | |
Any number is fine with me | |
As long as it's more | |
As long as it's more! | |
I'm no mathematician, all I know is addition | |
I find counting a bore. | |
Keep the number mounting, your accountant does the counting. | |
[More! More!] | |
I got rhythm, music too, just as much as before | |
Got my guy and my sky of blue, | |
Now, however, I own the view. | |
More is better than nothing, true | |
But nothing's better than more, more, more | |
Nothing's better than more. | |
One is fun, why not two? | |
And if you like two, you might as well have four, | |
And if you like four, why not a few | |
Why not a slew | |
[More! More!] | |
If you've got a little, why not a lot? | |
Add and bit and it'll get to be an oodle. | |
Every jot and tittle adds to the pot | |
Soon you've got the kit as well as the caboodle. | |
[More! More!] | |
Never say when, never stop at plenty, | |
If it's gonna rain, let it pour. | |
Happy with ten, happier with twenty | |
If you like a penny, wouldn't you like many much more? | |
Or does that sound too greedy? | |
That's not greed, no, indeedy | |
That's just stocking the store | |
Gotta fill your cupboard, remember Mother Hubbard. | |
[More! More!] | |
Each possession you possess | |
Helps your spirits to soar. | |
That's what's soothing about excess | |
Never settle for something less. | |
Something's better than nothing, yes! | |
But nothing's better than more, more more | |
[Except all, all, all] | |
Except all, all, all | |
Except once you have it all [have it all] | |
You may find all else above [find all else above] | |
That though things are bliss, | |
There's one thing you miss, and that's | |
More! More! | |
More! More! More! More! | |
More! More! More! |
