Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven

Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven - The Starlite Orchestra

Preacher told me last Sunday mornin'

Son you better start livin' right

You need to quit the women

And whiskey and carrying on all night

Don't you want to hear him call your name

When you're standing at the pearly gates

I told the Preacher Yes I do

But I hope he don't call today I ain't ready

Everybody wants to go to Heaven

Have a mansion high above the clouds

Everybody wanna go to Heaven

But nobody wanna go now

Said Preacher

Maybe you didn't see me

Throw an extra twenty in the plate

There's one for everything I did last night

And one to get me through today

Here's a ten to help you remember

Next time you got the good Lord's ear

Say I'm comin' but there ain't no hurry

I'm havin' fun down here Don't you know that

Everybody wants to go to Heaven

Get their wings and fly around

Everybody wanna go to Heaven

But nobody wanna go now

Some day I wanna see those streets of gold

Get my halo

But I wouldn't mind waitin'

At least a hundred years or so

Everybody wanna go to Heaven

It beats the other place

There ain't no doubt

Everybody wanna go to Heaven

But nobody wanna go now

Everybody wants to go to Heaven

Hallalujeh Let me hear you shout

Everybody wanna go to Heaven

But nobody wanna go now

I think I can speak for the crowd

Nobody wanna go now

Yeah
