Life's Full Of Consequence

Life's Full Of Consequence - Lena Horne/Eddie Anderson

Life's full o' consequence

That old devil consequence

He takes all the frival out of fun

When you've got the candle lit

At both ends the scandal it creates

Always keeps you on the run

Just when you're weakenin'

Fate sends the deacon in crash

And your pash ain't worth an ounce

'Coz then comes the consequence

That old devil consequence

Flings you back with a bound

It's consequences what count

Life's full o' consequence

But who's scared of consequence

Let's sip the honey while it's sweet

We could be messin' 'round

But you is digressin' 'round

While I'm tossin' nature at your feet

Why don't we mosey 'round

You could by cosy 'round

The gal who could sprinkle you with spice

But how 'bout the consequence

That old devil consequence

I've been burned more than twice

And I ain't payin' the price
