Lyrics

Well, your clock is gonna stop at Saint Peter's Gate
 Ya gonna ask him what time it is, he's gonna say, "It's too late"
 Hey, hey! I'd sure hate to be you on that dreadful day
 You're gonna start to sweat, and you ain't gonna stop
 You're gonna have a nightmare and never wake up
 Hey, hey, hey! I'd sure hate to be you on that dreadful day
 You're gonna cry for pills and your head's gonna be in a knot
 But the pills are gonna cost more than what you've got
 Hey, hey! I'd sure hate to be you on that dreadful day
 You're gonna have to walk naked, can't ride in no car
 You're gonna let everybody see just what you are
 Hey, hey! I'd sure hate to be you on that dreadful day
 Well, the good wine's flowin' for five cents a quart
 You're gonna look in your moneybags and find you're one cent short
 Hey, hey, hey! I'd sure hate to be you on that dreadful day
 You're gonna yell and scream, "Don't anybody care?"
 You're gonna hear out a voice say, "Should've listened when you heard the word down there"
 Hey, hey! I'd sure hate to be you on that dreadful day
 That's my Calypso type number
