There won’t be anybody waiting When the evil get to heaven, Not even good old Saint Pete. Just a long slippery slide Each of them must ride With no way to land on their feet. It's sad we have to wait For the sweet bye and bye For the evil to get just desserts. We console ourselves that When their number comes up We can't help hoping it hurts. They might get to heaven But they'll never get inside That's one place where lies won't suffice. If they look good on the surface But their insides don't match They're going to the realm of fire and ice. They're sure to be welcome there The devil will have use for them When the righteous world will not. They'll probably forget the words Of that time honored phrase: "If a fish keeps its mouth shut it won't get caught." It's sad we have to wait For the sweet bye and bye For the evil to get just desserts. We must console ourselves When their number comes up We can't help hoping it hurts.

WHEN THE TRUMPET SOUNDS
There won’t be anybody waiting When the evil get to heaven, Not even good old Saint Pete. Just a long slippery slide Each of them must ride With no way to land on their feet. It's sad we have to wait For the sweet bye and bye For the evil to get just desserts. We console ourselves that When their number comes up We can't help hoping it hurts. They might get to heaven But they'll never get inside That's one place where lies won't suffice. If they look good on the surface But their insides don't match They're going to the realm of fire and ice. They're sure to be welcome there The devil will have use for them When the righteous world will not. They'll probably forget the words Of that time honored phrase: "If a fish keeps its mouth shut it won't get caught." It's sad we have to wait For the sweet bye and bye For the evil to get just desserts. We must console ourselves When their number comes up We can't help hoping it hurts.
