How Do You Get to Heaven Songtext
von The Dave Clark Five

The Jew was new, he didn′t know what to do
The Arab stayed cool and just stood there, too
The black man said, "Hey, man, ah, won't you tell us some of the rules
′Cause we all come from the same place and we've all paid some dues"

How do you get to Heaven, is it somethin' that we′ve done?
Or is it because we′re different from you that you tell us we can't come?
How do you get to Heaven, is it somethin′ that we've done?
Or is it because we′re different from you that you tell us we can't come?

The China man, he stood there With a rice bowl in his hand
The Indian he stood there too, lookin′ at his Promised Land
And the black man said, "Hey, man, ah, won't you tell us some of the rules
'Cause we all come from the same place and we′ve all paid some dues"


How do you get to Heaven, is it somethin′ that we've done?
Or is it because we′re different from you that you tell us we can't come?
How do you get to Heaven, is it somethin′ that we've done?
Or is it because we′re different from you that you tell us we can't come?

You can pray to Jehovah, your Buda or your Guru
It makes no difference to me, man, who you wanna pray to
Long as you remember
It ain't what you do but the way you do
And to do unto others as you′d have them do to you

How do you get to Heaven, is it somethin′ that we've done?
Or is it because we′re different from you that you tell us we can't come?
How do you get to Heaven, is it somethin′ that we've done?
Or is it because we′re different from you that you tell us we can't come?

How do you get to Heaven, is it somethin' that we′ve done?
Or is it because we′re different from you that you tell us we can't come?
How do you get to Heaven, is it somethin′ that we've done?
Or is it because we′re different from you that you tell us we can't come?
