Lyrics When I Get to Heaven

When I get to heaven

I'm gonna shake God's hand

Thank Him for more blessings than one man can stand

Then I'm gonna get a guitar and start a rock and roll band

Check into a swell hotel

Ain't the afterlife grand

And then I'm gonna get a cocktail

Vodka and ginger ale

Yeah I'm gonna smoke a cigarette that's nine miles long

I'm gonna kiss that pretty girl on the Tilt-a-whirl

'Cos this old man is goin' to town

Hmm

Then as God as my witness

I'm gettin' back into show business hmm

I'm gonna open up a nightclub called

The Tree of Forgiveness

And forgive everybody ever done me any harm

Why I might even invite a few choice critics

Those syphilitic parasitics

Buy 'em a pint of Smithwick's and smother 'em with my charm

'Cos then I'm gonna get a cocktail

Vodka and ginger ale

Yeah I'm gonna smoke a cigarette that's nine miles long

I'm gonna kiss that pretty girl on the Tilt-a-whirl

Yeah this old man is goin' to town

Na ba ba da ba

Ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba

Doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo

Yeah when I get to heaven

I'm gonna take that wristwatch off my arm

What are you gonna do with time after you've bought the farm

And then I'm gonna go find my mom and dad and good old brother Doug

Why I bet him and cousin Jackie are still cuttin' up a rug

Wanna see all my mama's sisters 'cos that's where all the love starts

I miss them all like crazy

Bless their little hearts

And I always will remember these words my daddy said

He said

Buddy when you're dead you're a dead peckerhead

I hope to prove him wrong that is when I get to heaven

'Cos I'm gonna have a cocktail

Vodka and ginger ale

Yeah I'm gonna smoke a cigarette that's nine miles long

I'm gonna kiss that pretty girl on the Tilt-a-whirl

Yeah this old man is goin' to town

Huh duh hah da hah

Doo doo doo

La da da doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo doo doo doo
