Knock Knock On Heaven's Door

Been sent to heaven unexpectedly,
Nobody was welcoming at the door;
Knock, knock, anybody there?
It’s me and can’t wait anymore.

Heaven’s door was bolted from the inside,
Kept knocking but nobody opened the door;
I wondered if I was called by clerical error,
I stamped my feet hard on the floor.

Hell’s door was not very far away,
I could hear the music and merriment;
I got the notion to accompany the souls,
It was a quick decision of sentiment.

Knock, knock, knocking on heaven’s door,
Wondering if there was something special in store.
