Lyrics
[4/4, religiously with z beat]
IN HELL THEY’RE PROB’LY PLAYING DISCO
--J. Wrabek
[THE RAP: I was briefly the editor of a newspaper in North Dakota. This song has nothing to do with that—BUT there are folks who will tell you that North Dakota’s Heaven, and there’s some that’ll tell you it’s Hell. So maybe the two are related…]
1.
I never wanted t’ go to Heaven, ‘cause I’d prob’ly hate the music;
Can’t see ‘em having honky-tonks like I’m accustomed to;
No singin’ ‘bout drinkin’, or sex, divorce, and cheatin’,
And I bet there ain’t no angels that know how to sing the blues.
2.
If I went to Hell, I’d prob’ly know the people,
And it’d be hot and smoky—the preacher told me so;
But we’d all be bein’ punished for our Earthside transgressions,
And I bet it ain’t the sort of place a fella’d like to go.
CHORUS:
In Hell, they’re prob’ly playing… disco;
Latvia’s Got Talent, karaoke all night long;
They’ll make you sing Hank Williams to elevator music
And vote you off the stage before you’re finished with the song.
3.
No guitars in Heaven, ‘cause you can’t taske it with you;
Sunshine all the time, so there’s no ladies of the night;
Just singin’ twenty-four seven, bein’ bored as Hell in Heaven—
It’s supposed to be a happy place, but it feels like doin’ time.
CHORUS:
But in Hell, they’re prob’ly playing… disco;
Latvia’s Got Talent, karaoke all night long;
They’ll make you sing Hank Williams to elevator music
And vote you off the stage before you’re finished with the song.
4.
I’ve never played the harp, but if I went there I could learn to,
And maybe teach them angels a little rock ‘n’ roll;
If we had some good musicians, we could even charge admission,
‘Cause folks’d want to go there if the place just had some soul.
CHORUS:
‘Cause in Hell, they’re prob’ly playing… disco;
Latvia’s Got Talent, karaoke all night long;
They’ll make you sing Hank Williams to elevator music
And vote you off the stage before you’re finished with the song.
REPEAT LAST LINE OF CHORUS TO END
