It´s a road we all must go
Soon It´s your turn to shovel coal

It´s a bit hard to understand
But I´m on my way to the promised land
And there I'm gonna wait for my band
When they arrive we will pick up a tune
Sing some songs under the moon
And everything is gonna be alright

Maybe I´ll see Marlon Brando somewhere
And Marilyn Monroe if I dare
But first I'm gonna see my mom and dad

I know I´m growing old
Soon It´s my time to shovel coal
It´s a road we all must go
Soon It´s your turn to shovel coal

People are coming from everywhere
and I'm gonna talk to Fred Astaire
But first I'm gonna see my mom and dad

I know I´m growing old
Soon It´s my time to shovel coal
It´s a road we all must go
Soon It´s your turn to shovel coal

When I arrive I will walk around
Say hi and talk to everyone
´Cause I will have the time
It´s a bit hard to understand
But there will be a lot of time to spend
This is the beginning of the end

I don't know why I'm so sad
Maybe Elvis can make me glad
But first I'm gonna see my mom and dad

I know I´m growing old
Soon It´s my time to shovel coal
It´s a road we all must go
Soon It´s your turn to shovel coal
