Puffer: Once I bet my last ten pence - and won Twice as rich then, friends said, "Call it done!" "How sad", I said. "So that's your wildest dream, eh, then... Twenty pence instead of ten?" I doubled up my bet again! In life you start the same as when you're done: If you lose, you're just where you've begun - If you've won, don't quit while you're ahead, Just press your blessed luck instead! Datchery: Don't try to think what move might be best; Use the heart that beats within your breast. Never rest! Don't quit while you're ahead. Sing out: Datchery & Puffer: "There's more in store for me!" Bazzard & Durdles: I see my dream ship fin'lly comin' in Like a steam ship anch'rin in to win! Puffer & Datchery: Lift your chin! Remember what I said Don't quit while you're ahead, let go! Rosa & Helena: I know there must be love that's yet to be Only just three winks away from me Hopefully... Puffer, Datchery, Bazzard & Durdles: Don't quit while you're ahead! Don't worry how you tread! Who cares? Neville & Crisparkle: And there's the chance! One pipe dream that is mine A romance just ripe on the vine Rosa & Helena: Don't resign! Neville, Crisparkle, Rosa, Helena, Alice & Beatrice: No victor ever fled! Puffer, Datchery, Bazzard, Durdles: Don't quite you're ahead to stay! All: Ta-ray- ta-rah! Boom! Bang it, bash it, Hoo-ray-ha-rah! Boom! Clang it, clash it, oo-la-dee-dah! Don't quite while you're ahead! Don't say "I'm off to bed, farewell!" Jasper: Full well I know! Don't let the moment go to waste Not with the vic'try close enough to taste! Chairman & Jasper: Heed the call with all due haste! All: For God's own sake! So raise the stake, you struck a lucky vein! Never break through any lucky chain! The refrain: "Don't quit while you're ahead," As eas'ly done as said, you'll see: Ta-rah-ta-ree! Boom! Bang it, bash it, oo, glory be! Boom! Clang it, clash it, oo-lah-dee-dee! Don't quit while you're ahead Sing out, "There's more in store for me!" Back to main page: Mystery Of Edwin Drood, The Lyrics
