All you preachers Who delight in panning the dancing teachers, Let me tell you there are a lot of features Of the dance that carry you through The gates of Heaven. It's madness To be always sitting around in sadness, When you could be learning the steps of gladness. You'll be happy when you can do Just six or seven; Begin to day! You'll find it nice, The quickest way to paradise. When you practise, Here's the thing to do, Simply say as you go... sponsored links [Chorus:] I'll build a stairway to Paradise With a new step ev'ry day! I'm gonna get there at any price; Step aside, I'm on my way! I've got the blues And up above it's so fair. Shoes! Come on and carry me there! I'll build a stairway to Paradise With a new step every day. Ok, with a new step every day. I've got the blues And up above it's so fair. Shoes! Come on and carry me there! I'll build a stairway to Paradise With a new step every day. I've got the blues And up above it's so fair. Shoes! Get up and carry me there! I'll build a stairway to Paradise With a new step every day.
