Do Ya Wanna Go To Heaven - 1985 Original Broadway Cast
Look-a here Huck, do you want to go to Heaven?
Do you want to go to Heaven? Well I'll tell you right now
You better learn to read and you better learn your writin'
Or you'll never get to Heaven 'cause you won't know how
You may think that the whole thing is silly
But it isn't silly, really
And I'll tell you right now
If you don't learn to read then you can't read your Bible
And you'll never get to Heaven 'cause you won't know how
It got pretty rough, livin' with the Widder and Miss Watson; they was so regular and decent in all their ways. And Judge Thatcher thought he had the right to tell me what sort of person I should be too!
Look-a here, Huck, now you better think it over
Do you wanna be a loafer like your Pappy is now?
You better learn to read and you better learn your writin'
Or you'll never get to Heaven 'cause you won't know how
And Tom Sawyer wasn't above puttin' in his two cents worth either, sayin' I should be more like the fellers in those adventure books he was always a-readin'!
Hey, hey, ain't the situation
Concernin' education
Aggrivatin' and how?
Hey, hey
Do ya wanna get to Heaven?
Well ya better get your lessons
Or ya won't know how
It seemed like everybody in the whole blame town of St. Petersburg was tryin' to tell me who I should be!
Look-a here Huck, do ya wanna be a feller
Like a feller really ought to be? I'll tell ya right now
Ya better learn to read and ya better learn your writin'
Or you'll never get to Heaven 'cause ya won't know how
Hey, hey, ain't the situation
Concernin' education
Aggrivatin' and how?
Hey, hey, do ya wanna get to Heaven
Well ya better get your lessons
Or ya won't know how
Look-a here Huck, look-a here Huck, look-a here
Look-a here Huck, look-a here (Read your Bible, Huck)
Look-a here Huck, look-a here Huck, look-a here
Look-a here Huck, look-a here
Do you wanna come to dinner?
Do you wanna be a winner? (Do your readin', Huck)
Do you wanna think it over?
Do you wanna be a loafer? (Do your writin', Huck)
Do you wanna come to dinner?
Do you wanna be a winner? (Do ya wanna)
Do you wanna think it over? (Be a fella)
Do you wanna be a loafer? (Like ya oughta be?)
(Do ya wanna go to Heaven?)
You may think that the whole thing is silly
But it isn't silly really and I'll tell ya right now
If you don't learn to read then you can't read your Bible
And you'll never get to Heaven 'cause you won't know how
'Cause you won't know how
'Cause you won't know how
Hey, hey, ain't the situation
Concernin' education
