What do people do most of the time? And what would they like to do really? What's your idea of heaven? What's your idea of heaven? What do people do most of the time? And what would they like to do really? What's your idea of heaven? What's your idea of heaven? When people are unoccupied As far as I can make out They get together and the sing and dance Or else watch somebody else do it Nowadays we live in a Non participative culture And we don't do very much singing and dancing We are lugubrious But we watch other people do it on television What we really are interested in is to be Able to spend all the time going "gohooda bada doo boom-di-di boo Ba gohooda bada doo Boom-di-di boo ba bee boo doodie Boodie doo doo tchi-ko" You know something like this And that's what our heart's doing That's what our lungs are doing That's what our eyeballs are doing And it's what all these fantastic capillaries Of the veins are doing, they're going "joo-di boo-di, huppa-bubba, umpa-buba jee Dee dee dee, " And that's the point You know? Dare we admit it? What do people do most of the time? And what would they like to do really? What's your idea of heaven? What's your idea of heaven? What do people do most of the time? And what would they like to do really? What's your idea of heaven? What's your idea of heaven? Because we've been brought up you see In a cultural context In which the universe is presided Over by somebody serious it's only very Very occasional obscure references in the Jewish and Christian scriptures To the idea that God dances Of course in Hindus they know Shiva dances And all the Gods dance They're represented in the dance But in our way of looking at things no Back, that deep down in there is Something that you must respect You mustn’t laugh in church Especially if you got in front Of the throne of heaven Everybody would be dead silent Wow! You see, I mean that's really serious Here is the father Almighty World without end and you watch out! Don't you laugh why not? Because father Almighty, world without end Is a very insecure fellow Anybody laughed he might feel uneasy You know? Like something wrong going on Someone challenged his power What do people do most of the time? And what would they like to do really? What's your idea of heaven? What's your idea of heaven? What do people do most of the time? And what would they like to do really? What's your idea of heaven? What's your idea of heaven? So he is a funny fellow, you see? As we've mythologized Ultimate reality in the form of This cosmic grand papa who is also a king And is demanding above all Things reverence and respect
