I'll Build A Stairway To Paradise |
Verse One |
All you preachers |
Who delight in panning the dancing teachers, |
Let me tell you there are a lot of features |
Of the dance that carry you through |
The gates of Hea-ven. |
It’s madness |
To be always sitting around in sadness, |
When you could be learning the steps of gladness. |
You’ll be happy when you can do Just six or seven; |
Begin to day! |
You’ll find it nice, |
The quickest way to paradise. |
When you practise, |
Here’s the thing to know, |
Simply say as you go… |
Chorus |
I’ll build a stairway to Paradise |
With a new step ev’ry day ! |
I’m gonna get there at any price; |
Stand aside, I’m on my way ! |
I’ve got the blues |
And up above it’s so fair. |
Shoes ! |
Go on and carry me there ! |
I’ll build a stairway to Paradise |
With a new step ev’ry day. |
Verse Two |
Ev’ry new step |
Helps a bit; |
but any old kind of two step, |
Does as well. |
It don’t matter what step you step, |
If you work it into your soul |
You’ll get to Heaven. |
Get bu-sy; |
Dance with Maud the countess, or just plain Lizzy: |
Dance until you’re blue in the face and dizzy. |
When you’ve learn’d to dance in your sleep |
You’re sure to win out. |
In time you’ll get Saint Vitus dance, |
Which beats the latest thing from France. |
Take no chances on this Paradise; |
Let me give you advice. |
Chorus (x2) |
