Role Call Lyrics

When they call the role up yonder

Don't be late, it's just like Christmas Day

When all the patron saints walk hand in glove

With their patron dates

I'm afraid you'll have to see the Boss upstairs

He wants to ask you 'bout some things

You really really wouldn't want to get out of here

So just tell Him anything

Now I got my just deserves

Nobody deserves this

Nobody preserves us

Nobody can find me on the absentee list

Where the Angels fear to tread

Where it goes straight to your head

And you're left for dead

Where I wish I was

And I wish I was'nt me.

I just want an air-conditioned space, all expenses paid

I just want a cherub's pudgy face, so I could get my way

I'm afraid you're gonna have to split some hairs, get out the inquisition chair

You may not ever, ever get out of here so just tell them everything

All my answers unrehearsed

We didn't rehearse this

We didn't coerce this

We didn't file the proper pink slips

Where the Angels fear to tread

Where it goes straight to your head

And you're left for dead

Where I wish I was

When they call the role up yonder

When they pile up the dirt

Were you lost in the paperwork?

I think I was

Oh, I wish I wasn't me

When they call the role up yonder don't be late

They won't sit and wait

There'll be free receptional champagne

But you got the combo plate

Go see the Big Guy Upstairs

I'm not gonna enjoy this

I'm not getting nervous

I'm not gonna need the extra towels and nurses

Where the Angels fear to tread

Where it goes straight to your head

And you're left for dead

Where I wish I was

When they call the role up yonder, when they pile up all the

You don't know the meaning of paperwork!

I wish I was

Oh, I wish I was'nt me
