Do You Wanna Go To Heaven Lyrics - Roger Miller

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
