No Laughing in Heaven |
| 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 |
