Here on Earth (I’ll Have My Cake) Songtext
von Crash Test Dummies

Some folks say that life is just a veil of tears
Not me man I can′t pack enough into these years
I don't care if it′s spring summer winter or fall
Make no fuss about the seasons, 'cause I like 'em all

Here on earth I′ll have my cake
Gonna eat it too, make no mistake
′Cause if it's a question of to be or not to be
I′ll put on my boots and go see what I can see


My grandpa, well a good Christian life he led
Worked like a dog just to put a roof over his head
He said that when he died he'd get his reward
′Cause heaven's a place where you don′t pay room & board

Here on earth I'll have my cake
Gonna eat it too, make no mistake
'Cause if it′s a question of to be or not to be
I′ll put on my boots and go see what I can see

When I die, I hope I don't die too slow
But slow or quick, I hope heaven is the place I go
Old St. Pete′s gonna serve me my pie in the sky
And I'll say "Pete, a side of ice cream, if you don′t mind."


Here on earth I'll have my cake
Gonna eat it too, make no mistake
′Cause if it's a question of to be or not to be
I'll put on my boots and go see what I can see
