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      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      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."      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
