So, over on mudcat somebody posted asking for verses to "Oh, You Can't Get to Heaven".

And I've known that song a long time, but naturally I picked up a few new verses. The funniest one has to be "Oh you can't get to heaven on the BMT cuz the BMT won't BMT". I called my mom about it, given that it's a subway reference AND a letters-as-words thing, both of which I knew she'd find enjoy.

I sang the chorus as I usually do, "I ain't gonna sing this song no more". And then I thought about it. Does singing "You can't go to Heaven..." etc. necessarily imply that you think there's any possible way of going to Heaven or that one exists to go to? (Not that I care, it's a great song, very fun, but once you start asking these questions they stick in your head.)

I also taught the nieces and their friends today to sing "I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's hot, and I wear my flannel nighty in the winter when it's not, and sometimes in the springtime and sometimes in the fall I jump under my covers with nothing on at all!"

Yes, I get paid to do this. My job? It rocks.
