I know a man as rich as a king
|
Still he just won't give his neighbors a thing
|
His day will come, I'll make a bet
|
He'll get to heaven and here's what he'll get
|
|
A rusty old halo skinny white cloud second hand wings full of patches
|
A rusty old halo skinny white cloud robe that's so wooly and it scratches
|
|
Some people have them big shiny cars
|
Swimming pools fur coats and diamonds in jars
|
Real silver gates real golden doors
|
They'll get up to heaven and trade them all for
|
|
A rusty old halo skinny white cloud...
|
[ harmonica ]
|
While you're on earth you should shine like a star
|
Brighten up the corner wherever you are
|
Doing each day the best you can do
|
That way you're saure that they'll never hand you
|
|
A rusty old halo skinny white cloud...
|
A rusty old halo skinny white cloud...
