Lyrics
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
'Cos 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
Writer(s): E.y. Harburg, Harold Arlen
