Crack the whip and smash the panes 

And lash the laggard while he strains 

And then when no one else remains 

For the road to heaven 

No one else to scream and shout 

And kick the bloody windows out 

Off to Paddy's heaven 



chorus: Lock the doors and strip the plough 

Paddy must be going now 

On the road and God knows how 

Off to Paddy's Heaven 



Here's a nice one from the start 

Kick the bugger's life apart 

And then I'll add with all my heart 

On the road to heaven 

And believe me when I say 

Come again another day 

You'll see me duck and weave and pray 

All for Paddy's Heaven 



And whatever is my name 

Surrogates will take the blame 

And others still will feel the pain 

On the road to heaven 

And while they wander in the night 

I'll sit and watch the pale moonlight 

And in my bed all tucked up tight 

I'll dream of Paddy's heaven 



And if should come as comes to all 

That someday others hear the call 

They may rise and I may fall 

And burn in Paddy's heaven.
