no shoes

I was crawling through the desert on the edge of night
It was looking like I breathed my last
A million miles from nowhere. My hope was fading fast
When all of a sudden I see a sign. Flashing like a long lost friend
"Welcome to The Last Chance Diner" 
My trouble was at an end
So I crawl up to the counter. I got to place my order
I crawl up to the counter and I cry "Water. Water!"
Somebody says

"You can't come in here looking like that
you'll make the customers nervous
You can't come in here looking like that
no shoes, no shirt, no service
No shoes, no shirt, no sir"

So I die and go to heaven, it's just like standinq in line
I say, "What's everybody here waiting for?"
They say, "Your guess is good as mine" 
Then an angel with a pencil and paper flies by says 
"Baby, what's your name? What did you do?" 
I say, "I used to be a singer in a rock and roll band" 
She says, "Baby, have we got the thing for you" 
And I feel myself falling, everything's getting hotter 
I feel myself falling, and I cry, "Water. Water!" Somebody saysÉ  

And way out in the distance I can just make out Gabriel unpacking his ax 
He takes it out and he plays something that goes a little like this 

So if you want to be happy you better dress the part 
and if you want to be rich you better hide your heart.
Just lift up the rug and sweep the dirt 
and don't you ever get caught without your shoes and shirt    

You better watch your P's and Q's
You better wear your shirt and shoes
