With All of Your Heart Lyrics — Schmigadoon!

EMMA:
When you've got a job to do
You must try with all your heart
Life's profoundest joys
Go to girls and boys
Who finish what they start

When faced with work
The shirkers shirk
Because it's no longer fun
But the chaps
For whom the whole world claps
Are the chaps who keep at it till the job is done

Oh, at times you'll want to say
"I've got nothing left to give."
But a life that's lived partway
Is no way to live

So here's a slice
Of good advice
That I'm obliged to impart
You must always try your best
With all of your heart

CHILD 1: (spoken)
Miss Tate is right!
How can you live a life partway?

CHILD 2: (spoken)
Or be half a friend?


CHILD 3: (spoken)
Why do you keep giving up, Doctor?

CHILD 4: (spoken)
Yeah, why?

DOCTOR: (spoken)
Hey, back off, it's a door

CHILD 5: (spoken)
Is it?

EMMA:
When you've got a job to do

KIDS:
When you've got a job to do

EMMA:
You must try with all your heart

KIDS:
You must try with all your heart

EMMA:
Life's profoundest joys
Go to girls and boys
Who finish what they start

KIDS:
Girls and boys S-T-A-R-T!

EMMA:
When faced with work
The shirkers shirk
Because it's no longer fun

KIDS:
F-U-N!

EMMA:
But the chaps
For whom the whole world claps
Are the chaps who keep at it till the job is done
Oh, at times you'll want to say

KIDS:
Oh, at times you'll want to say

EMMA:
"I've got nothing left to give."

KIDS:
"I've got nothing left to give."

EMMA:
But a life that's lived partway
Is no way to live

KIDS:
Is no way to L-I-V-E

EMMA:
So here's a slice
Of good advice
That I'm obliged to impart

EMMA AND KIDS:
You must always try your best
With all of your heart

EMMA:
So here's a slice
Of good advice
That I'm obliged to impart

EMMA AND KIDS:
You must always try your best
When life puts you to the test
You must always try your best with all of your

EMMA:
Heart!

KIDS:
H-E-A-R-T! Heart!
