Two Fingers |
I’ll see you at the Weighing-In, when your life’s sum-total's made. |
Oy! |
I’ll see you at the Weighing-In, when your life’s sum-total's made: |
And you set your wealth in goodly deeds against the sins you’ve laid. |
And you place your final burden on your hard-pressed next of kin: |
Send the chamber-pot back down the line, to be filled up again! |
Oh-oh-oh! |
And the hard-headed miracle worker — who bathes his hands in blood, |
Will welcome you to the final «nod" — and cover you with mud. |
And he’ll say «You really should make the deal,» |
As he offers round the hat. |
«Well, you’d better lick two fingers clean — he’ll thank you all for that.» |
As you slip on the greasy platform, and you land upon your back — |
You make a wish and you wipe your nose upon the railway track. |
While the high-strung locomotive, with furnace burning bright, |
Lumbers on — you wave goodbye — and the sparks fade into night. |
And as you join the Good Ship Earth, and you mingle with the dust — |
You’d better leave your underpants with someone you can trust. |
And when the Old Man with the telescope cuts the final strand — |
You’d better lick two fingers clean, before you shake his hand. |
