Here On Earth (I'll Have My Cake)

Some folks say that life is just a veil of tears Not me man, I can't pack enough into these years I don't care if it's spring, summer, winter or fall Make no fuss about the seasons 'cause I like 'em all Here on earth I'll have my cake Gonna eat it too, make no mistake 'Cause if it's a question of to be or not to be I'll put on my boots and go see what I can see My grandpa, well, a good Christian life he led Worked like a dog just to put a roof over his head He said that when he died he'd get his reward 'Cause heaven's a place where you don't pay, room and board When I die, I hope I don't die too slow But slow or quick, I hope heaven is the place I go Old St. Pete's gonna serve me my pie in the sky And I'll say, "Pete, a side of ice cream, if you don't mind"
