Stopover in Hell
03:24

Come gather round me all you non-believers
Listen to the story that I tell
About a gambler who threw a seven
Won himself a ticket to heaven
but the route was marked
With a stopover in hell
Chorus:
Even if your sins have been forgiven
It aint as easy as some folks will tell
If you hold a ticket to heaven
Be sure there aint no stopover in hell
"How long? Will it be an over-nighter?
Will I have time to spin the roulette wheel?"
"Hell, yeah," answered the porter
There will be time for that and more
You'll go through a million decks of cards
Before you get the deal."
"First thing I'm gonna do when we hit the station
Is find myself a woman who will treat me well.
I'll check the the graveyard row by row
Until I find marilyn monroe
I'll pass the time with her
On my stopover in hell."
At this the porter laughed and said,"Im sorry
But you're checked into the celibate hotel
You can gamble day and night
But there won't be a woman in sight
That's the way it goes
On this stopover in hell."
"Well if indeed there will be no women
Will there at least be whiskey on the rocks?"
"No, not even water for your thirst
And it will get so hot that your belly will burst
And your liver will be
A feast for the sparrows and hawks."
Their conversation might have gone on forever
Or for as much of forever that from heaven fell
But you've heard enough of the story
to know there is a purgatory
Though some call it
A stopover in hell.
