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 |
