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
