George Gershwin - I'll Build A Stairway To Paradise текст песни

Verse One
All you preachers
Who delight in panning the dancing teachers,
Let me tell you there are a lot of features
Of the dance that carry you through
The gates of Hea-ven
It's madness
To be always sitting around in sadness,
When you could be learning the steps of gladness
You'll be happy when you can do
Just six or seven;
Begin to day!
You'll find it nice,
The quickest way to paradise
When you practise,
Here's the thing to know,
Simply say as you go
Chorus
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step ev'ry day !
I'm gonna get there at any price;
Stand aside, I'm on my way !
I've got theblues
And up above it's so fair
Shoes ! Go on and carry me there !
I'll build a stairway toParadise
With a new step ev'ry day
Verse Two
Ev'ry new step
Helps a bit ; but any old kind of two step,
Does as well It don't matter what step you step,
If you work it into your soul
You'll get to Heaven
Get bu-sy ;
Dance with Maud the countess, or just plain Lizzy:
Dance until you're blue in the face and dizzy
When you've learn'd to dance in your sleep
You're sure to win out
In time you'll getSaint Vitus dance,
Which beats the latest thing from France
Take no chances on this Paradise ;
Let me give you advice
Chorus (x2)
