from the film "At Last, Okemah!"
to the tune of the Scapegoat song of the same name
C Am
Woody was sent to new jersey
F G
when the chorea ate at his brain
C Am
he lay on his back for a decade
F G
just dreaming of riding the train
C Am
and working his way through the country
F G
spreading the truth and good cheer
C Am
and when Woody ascended to heaven
F G
he said "man, what am I doing here?"
CHORUS:
C Am
and went doorbell ditching
F G
up at the pearly gates
C Am
ringing the bell and runnng like hell
F G
heaven would just have to wait
St peter caught up with woody
as he sang through the circles of hell
and said "God is well pleased with you Woody
you did your work very well"
Woody said "sure, but in heaven
there's nothing to protest about
there are wrongs to be fixed down below here
and if you try to pull me back out
I'll go doorbell ditching
up at the pearly gates
I'll ring the bell and run like hell
heaven will just have to wait"
Peter said "sing for the angels
in heaven the hoots never stop
the boxcars are all filled with pillows
and you never get chased by the cops"
Woody said "I'm not a sell out
I can't knock on heaven's door
til all of the demons join unions
and nobody's damned anymore!"
I'll go doorbell ditching
up at the pearly gates
I'll ring the bell and run like hell
heaven will just have to wait"
