"Do You Wanna Go To Heaven"

DO YOU WANNA GO TO HEAVEN

FROM BROADWAY MUSICAL 'BIG RIVER�

Writer Roger Miller

Looka Huck, do you wanna go to heaven

Do you wanna go to Heaven

Well I'll tell you right now

You better learn to read and you better learn your writin'

Or you'll never get to heaven 'cause you wont know how

You may think that the whole thing is silly

But it ain't silly really and I'll tell you right now

If you don't learn to read then you can't read your Bible

And you won't get to heaven 'cause you wont know how

Looka here Huck, now you better think it over

Do you wanna be a loafer like your pappy is now

You better learn to read and you better learn your writin'

Or you'll never get to heaven 'cause you wont know how

Hey, hey do you wanna go to heaven

Do you wanna go to heaven

If you don't go to hell

Looka here Huck, do you wanna go to heaven

Do you wanna go to heaven

Well I'll tell you right now

You better learn to read and you better learn your writin'

Or you'll never get to Heaven 'cause you wont know how

You may think that the whole thing is silly

But it ain't silly really and I'll tell you right now

If you don't learn to read then you can't read your Bible

And you won't get to heaven 'cause you wont know how

Looka here Huck, now you better think it over

Do you wanna be a loafer like your pappy is now

You better learn to read and you better learn your writin'

Or you'll never get to heaven 'cause you wont know how

Hey, hey here's the situation concernin' education aggravatin' and how

Do you wanna go to heaven

Well you better get your lessons or you won't know how

Looka here Huck, do you wanna be a feller

Like a feller really ought to be

I'll tell you right now

You better learn to read and you better learn your writin'

Or you'll never get to Heaven 'cause you wont know how
