Lyrics
Oh, Lord
Oh, Lord
Sorry, ladies to make you wait
There's a couple of Buddhists at the pearly gate
Asked my permission to come on board
(What you do, Lord?)
I had to have 'em put out with the trash
Sing it
Oh, Lord (Heavenly)
How great our Lord (Sing to me)
Oh, Lord (Mmm)
How great our Lord
Ladies, ladies
Why does the earth glide by below
Like a great big rubber ball?
(It is like a rubber ball)
Why does the bird fly through the sky?
Why does the apple fall?
(We don't know why)
Folks up here ask me why
Things go so badly down below
I tell them when they ask me why
I really do not know
(But you do know, don't you, Lord?)
Of course I do
Sing it
Oh, Lord (Sing it, ladies)
How great our Lord (Ah-ha, it's great)
Oh, Lord
How great our Lord (Mmm), so great
Folks up here ask me why
Things go so badly down below
I like to tell them when they ask me why
I say I really do not know
(But you do know, right?)
You know it
Come on
Oh, Lord
How great our Lord (Ha-ha-ha-ha)
Oh, Lord (Ooh)
How great our Lord (Mmm, take it home)
Oh, Lord (Celestial)
How great our Lord (Well)
Oh, Lord (Rapture)
How great our Lord
