All you preachers
Who delight in panning
the dancing teachers
Let me tell you
there are a lot of features
Of the dance
that carry you through
The gates of Heaven
It's madness
To be always sitting
around in sadness
When you could be learning
the steps of gladness
You'll be happy when you can do
Just six or seven
Begin to day
You'll find it nice
The quickest way to paradise
When you practise
Here's the thing to do
Simply say as you go
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step ev'ry day
I'm gonna get there at any price
Step aside I'm on my way
I've got the blues
And up above it's so fair
Shoes Come on and carry me there
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step every day
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step every day
I'm gonna get there at any price
Step aside I'm on my way
I've got the blues
And up above it's so fair
Shoes Get up and carry me there
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step every day
