_And the gravedigger puts on the forceps The stonemason does all the work The barber can give you a haircut The carpenter can take you out to lunch_ _Now I just want to play on my panpipes I just want to drink me some wine As soon as you’re born you start dyin’ So you might as well have a good time_ _Sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell Sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell_ ---

If you can walk away from a crash and burn You’ll appreciate every step you earn And if you feel the ground is gaining on you You’re already bound to take a different view When I’m on my knees and everything has gotten me beat And even I believe I’m never gonna find my feet Two ways you can go you can ask anybody around One man’s half way up is another man’s half way down [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-gonna-take-alot-to-drag-me-away-from-you/937913.md?page=5)
