Lyrics
INTRO
do do doodle do de do do
do do do do do do do...
VERSE1
Well, I heard a lot of talk about Heaven
Darn near all my life
Pearly gates and streets of gold
Angels dressed in white
Ever'body sits around singin'
On a soft cloud every night...
Well... IF EVER'BODY WANTS TO GO TO HEAVEN
HOW COME NO ONE WANTS TO DIE?
VERSE2
They say you'll never be hungry
So there's nothin' there to eat
Gold streets don't have no stickers
You don't need boots on your feet
Spend eternity with all of your loved ones
Even your ex-wife...
Well...IF EVER'BODY WANTS TO GO TO HEAVEN
HOW COME NO ONE WANTS TO DIE?
BRIDGE
I was in the congregation
Preacher tryin' to save our souls
A reward was waitin' in Heaven
Ever'body said they wanted to go...
VERSE3
But then... he said that once you get there
Only angels can return
God knows I ain't no angel
But I don't deserve to burn
If I don't get a great big mansion
A little shack will do just fine...
But... if you're in a hurry to get there
I'll trade my place in line... Oh, yeah...
VERSE4
Cause, I heard a lot of talk about Heaven
Darn near all my life
Pearly gates, streets of gold
Angels dressed in white
Ever'body sits around singin'
On a soft cloud every night...
Well... IF EVER'BODY WANTS TO GO TO HEAVEN
HOW COME NO ONE WANTS TO DIE?
ENDING (sames as intro)
do do doodle do de do do
do do do do do do do...
