Lyrics
Christmas In Heaven
Its Christmas in heaven and food's on the table
Janice Joplin and Bowie chat up Betty Grable
Muhammed Ali tells a joke to Einstein
Who's pouring a bourbon for good ole John Prine
Johnny Weissmuller 's swimming with Fats Domino
JFK pulls a cracker with Marilyn Monroe
Chaplin is learning Kung Fu from Bruce Lee
Pythagoras teaches Prince geometry
Chorus
There's no reason eternity
Should not be enjoyable
For you or for me
Paradise should be nice
Whatever your hue
You'll respect me and I'll respect you
Babe Ruth's hitting balls with Johnny Cash
The score's 6 love Bette Davis and Arthur Ashe
John Lennon and Georgeare jamming a refrain Liberace's on piano along with John Wayne
Chorus
There's no reason eternity
Should not be enjoyable
For you or for me
Paradise should be nice
Whatever your hue
You'll respect me and I'll respect you
The tree's being trimmed by Diana Dors
Bob Mitchum bakes the turkey at gas mark four
Brando shows his phone to Alexander Graham Bell
It's Christmas in heaven And all is well
Chorus
There's no reason eternity
Should not be enjoyable
For you or for me
Paradise should be nice
Whatever your hue
You'll respect me and I'll respect you
