here on earth (i'll have my cake)

Lyrics

some folks say that life is just a veil of tears, not me man i can't pack enough into these years, i don't care if it's spring summer winter or fall, make no fuss about the seasons, 'cause i like 'em all, here on earth i'll have my cake, gonna eat it too, make no mistake, 'cause if it's a question of to be or not to be, i'll put on my boots and go see what i can see, my grandpa, well a good christian life he led, worked like a dog just to put a roof over his head, he said that when he died he'd get his reward, 'cause heaven's a place where you don't pay room & board, when i die, i hope i don't die too slow, but slow or quick, i hope heaven is the place i go, old st. pete's gonna serve me my pie in the sky, and i'll say "pete, a side of ice cream, if you don't mind."
