The Ole Reaper

(Gypsy Swing in A)

If we carry on like this
Something bad is gonna happen
We’ll all go to hell – well,  some of us might make it up to heaven.
Both St. Peter and the devil
finally will put out their sign:
Sorry folks, we’re full, you can’t come in, you’ll have to stand in line.

Now, we know that there’s that day when the ole reaper comes to us.
Once we’ve lived our lives we finally will accept to bite the dust.
It just seems unfair to leave the world
before we’re ninetyfive
So we struggle, toil and fight to stay alive.

But if we carry on like this
Something bad is gonna happen
We’ll all go to hell – well,  some of us might make it up to heaven.
Both St. Peter and the devil
finally will put out their sign:
Sorry folks, we’re full, you can’t come in, you’ll have to stand in line.

We’re hard workers when it comes to universal demolition.
Let’s all vanish from this planet seems our uppermost ambition.
So, produce, consume and dump your shit into your neighbours yard
Let him handle that all by himself while you don’t give a fart.

If we carry on like this
Something bad is gonna happen
We’ll all go to hell – well,  some of us might make it up to heaven.
Both St. Peter and the devil
finally will put out their sign:
Sorry folks, we’re full, you can’t come in, you’ll have to stand in line.

Bridge:
Jeepers, creepers, don’t fear the reapers,
Jeepers, creepers, when they ring your bell.
Jeepers, creepers, just close your bleepers,
Ole reapers, new reapers, let’s go to hell!

If we carry on like this
Something bad is gonna happen
We’ll all go to hell – well,  some of us might make it up to heaven.
Both St. Peter and the devil
finally will put out their sign:
Sorry folks, we’re full, you can’t come in, you’ll have to stand in line.
