 Everybody got a room

 Everybody got a room

 Everybody got a room

 In God's Hotel.

 Everybody got a room.

 Well you'll never see a sign hanging on the door

 Sayin 'No vacancies anymore'.

 

 

 Everybody got wings

 Everybody got wings

 Everybody got wings

 In God's Hotel.

 Everybody got wings.

 You'll never see a sign hanging on the door

 Sayin 'At no time may both feet leave the floor'

 

 

 Everybody got a harp

 Everybody got a harp

 Everybody got a harp

 In God's Hotel.

 Everybody got a harp.

 You'll never see a sign hanging on the wall

 Sayin 'No harps allowed in the hotel at all'.

 

 

 Everybody got a cloud

 Everybody got a cloud

 Everybody got a cloud

 In God's Hotel.

 Everybody got a cloud.

 You'll never see a sign hanging on the wall

 Sayin 'Smoking and drinking will be thy downfall'.

 

 

 Everybody hold a hand

 Everybody hold a hand

 Everybody hold a hand

 In God's Hotel.

 Everybody hold a hand.

 You'll never see a sign hung up above your door

 'No visitors allowed in rooms, By law!'

 

 

 Everybody's halo shines

 Everybody's halo shines

 Everybody's halo shines

 In God's Hotel.

 Everybody's halo lookin' fine.

 You won't see a sign staring at you from the wall

 Sayin 'Lights out! No burnin the midnight oil!'

 

 

 Everybody got credit

 Everybody got credit

 Everybody got credit

 In God's Hotel.

 Everybody got good credit.

 You'll never see a sign stuck on the cash-box drawer

 Sayin 'Credit tommorow!!' or 'Want credit?!? Haw, haw haw!!'

 

 

 Everybody is blind

 Everybody is blind

 Everybody is blind

 In God's Hotel.

 Everybody is blind.

 You'll never see a sign on the front door

 'No red skins. No Blacks. And that means you, baw!'

 

 

 Everybody is deaf

 Everybody is deaf

 Everybody is deaf

 In God's Hotel.

 Everybody is deaf.

 You'll never find a sign peeling off the bar-room wall

 'Though shalt not blaspheme, cuss, holler or bawl'.

 

 

 Everybody is dumb

 Everybody is dumb

 Everybody is dumb

 In God's Hotel.

 Everybody is dumb.

 So you'll never see on the visiting-room wall

 'Though shalt not blaspheme, cuss, holler or bawl'.

 

 

 Everybody got Heaven

 Everybody got Heaven

 Everybody got Heaven

 In God's Hotel.

 Everybody got Heaven.

 So you'll never see scribbled on the bathroom wall

 'Let Rosy get ya Heaven, dial 686-844!'
