Ian Gillan Band: No laughing in heaven

I used to be a sinner, used to have my cake and eat itThey warned me of my fate, but I was quite prepared to meet itYou'll go to Hell they smiled at meAnd told me of the roaring firesBut I was happy living wildAnd fueling my own desiresI was a wild manDrinking, smoking and messing around with womenLots of womenNo, not swimming, womenI wanna go to HeavenThe place to be is right up thereI wanna go to HeavenIt's gonna be good so I won't despairI decided to reform and prayBeg mercy for my soulI prayed in churchThrew away my bad habitsPrayed out of churchAdopted an entirely different roleI gave my money to the poor until I was poorBut at least I ensured that I would go up thereInstead of down below to the InfernoWhere the evil flames of desireBurned higher and higher and higherI'm gonna go to HeavenPaid my dues so I'm getting inI'm gonna go to HeavenIt's looking good if I abstain from sinI knocked on the pearly gatesNeatly side-stepping the long queueWaved hi to St. PeterWho checked my card and let me throughI smiled, threw my hands in the airLaughed and got arrestedThey said hey man, you're in the wrong placeYour behaviour is a disgraceHere we pray every hour, on the hourRead extracts from the Bible and look solemn'What, says I, no party?No party?Let me outLet me out of HeavenI got it wrong, no I can't stay hereNo laughing in HeavenLet me out, I just can't stay hereWell I ran around in the state of shock and panicThis wan't what I expectedHere was what looked like a bunch of manic depressivesCan I get a transfer, I screamedBut no, once you're in Heaven, you're here for goodThe good of your soul, but that's no good for meIf you want to go to Hell you've really got to be badOkay, okay, I'll be badToo lateWhat do you mean too lateToo lateNoIn the meantimeLet me out of HeavenI've got it wrong, no I can't stay hereNo laughing in HeavenOh God, it's awful hereGoing crazy in HeavenTake me out and let me go to hellNo laughing in HeavenDon't laugh, this place is Hell
