Dear World Jerry Herman (Ft. Angela Lansbury & Original Broadway Cast of Dear World)

[COUNTESS AURELIA]
Someone has wounded you, dear world
Someone has poisoned you, dear world
And those who love you defiantly insist
That you get off that critical list

So make your recovery quick, world
We're sick of having a sick world
We want you dancing tomorrow afternoon
So be a dear world
Rip the bandage off, dear world
Take the stitches out, dear world
And get well soon

[ENSEMBLE & COUNTESS]
Please take your medicine, dear world
Please make your fever break, dеar world
Your vim and vigor are very sorely missеd
Help us declare you "Patient dismissed"

And stand on your crutches with pride, world
You've gotta save your own hide, world
We're not quite ready to trade you for the moon
So be a dear world
Take the ambulance here, world
Have the surgery, dear world
And get well soon
