| I used to be a sinner, used to have my cake and eat it
|
| They warned me of my fate, but I was quite prepared to meet it
|
| You’ll go to Hell they smiled at me
|
| And told me of the roaring fires
|
| But I was happy living wild
|
| And fueling my own desires
|
| I was a wild man
|
| Drinking, smoking and messing around with women
|
| Lots of women
|
| No, not swimming, women
|
| I wanna go to Heaven
|
| The place to be is right up there
|
| I wanna go to Heaven
|
| It’s gonna be good so I won’t despair
|
| I decided to reform and pray
|
| Beg mercy for my soul
|
| I prayed in church
|
| Threw away my bad habits
|
| Prayed out of church
|
| Adopted an entirely different role
|
| I gave my money to the poor until I was poor
|
| But at least I ensured that I would go up there
|
| Instead of down below to the Inferno
|
| Where the evil flames of desire
|
| Burned higher and higher and higher
|
| I’m gonna go to Heaven
|
| Paid my dues so I’m getting in
|
| I’m gonna go to Heaven
|
| It’s looking good if I abstain from sin
|
| I knocked on the pearly gates
|
| Neatly side-stepping the long queue
|
| Waved hi to St. Peter
|
| Who checked my card and let me through
|
| I smiled, threw my hands in the air
|
| Laughed and got arrested
|
| They said hey man, you’re in the wrong place
|
| Your behaviour is a disgrace
|
| Here we pray every hour, on the hour
|
| Read extracts from the Bible and look solemn'
|
| What, says I, no party?
|
| No party?
|
| Let me out
|
| Let me out of Heaven
|
| I got it wrong, no I can’t stay here
|
| No laughing in Heaven
|
| Let me out, I just can’t stay here
|
| Well I ran around in the state of shock and panic
|
| This wan’t what I expected
|
| Here was what looked like a bunch of manic depressives
|
| Can I get a transfer, I screamed
|
| But no, once you’re in Heaven, you’re here for good
|
| The good of your soul, but that’s no good for me
|
| If you want to go to Hell you’ve really got to be bad
|
| Okay, okay, I’ll be bad
|
| Too late
|
| What do you mean too late
|
| Too late
|
| No
|
| In the meantime
|
| Let me out of Heaven
|
| I’ve got it wrong, no I can’t stay here
|
| No laughing in Heaven
|
| Oh God, it’s awful here
|
| Going crazy in Heaven
|
| Take me out and let me go to hell
|
| No laughing in Heaven
|
| Don’t laugh, this place is Hell |
