As the sun rose up over the sea Everyone was singing in a minor key Buddhists, Hindus, Jews and Priests Gathered around for the jubilee
Two old ladies they were waitin' on a sign Growing better with age like a Yellow Tail wine Shoutin' at the junkies in the Court Street light "Do the next right thing or the next thing right!"
Oh, oh, you're a long way from home, hear me sing Oh, oh, people need a miracle, To do the next right thing
Hey heavn' forces and acquire your preachers Hey diddle diddle now the fiddle screeches Moanin' up the stairs and rollin' in bed She been talkin' to God since 2 a.m.
Sayin' "I don't wanna go, I don't wanna die, But a sister's gotta save her seat in the sky. You can judge me, grade me, shed some light, Do the next right thing or the next thing right"
the next right thing † seth glier
As the sun rose up over the sea
Everyone was singing in a minor key
Buddhists, Hindus, Jews and Priests
Gathered around for the jubilee
Two old ladies they were waitin' on a sign
Growing better with age like a Yellow Tail wine
Shoutin' at the junkies in the Court Street light
"Do the next right thing or the next thing right!"
Oh, oh, you're a long way from home,
hear me sing
Oh, oh, people need a miracle,
To do the next right thing
Hey heavn' forces and acquire your preachers
Hey diddle diddle now the fiddle screeches
Moanin' up the stairs and rollin' in bed
She been talkin' to God since 2 a.m.
Sayin' "I don't wanna go, I don't wanna die,
But a sister's gotta save her seat in the sky.
You can judge me, grade me, shed some light,
Do the next right thing or the next thing right"
