The Next Right Thing

As the sun rose up over the sea
Everyone was singing in a minor key
Buddhists, Hindus, Jews and Priests
Gathered around for the jubilee
Two old ladies they were waitin' on a sign
Growing better with age like a Yellow Tail wine
Shoutin' at the junkies in the Court Street light
«Do the next right thing or the next thing right!»
OH OH
You’re a long way from home
Hear me sing
OH OH
People need a miracle
To do the next right thing
Hey heavn' forces and acquire your preachers
Hey diddle diddle now the fiddle screeches
Moanin' up the stairs and rollin' in bed
She been talkin' to God since 2 a. m
Sayin' «I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna die
But a sister’s gotta save her seat in the sky
You can judge me, grade me, shed some light
Do the next right thing or the next thing right»
OH OH
You’re a long way from home
Hear me sing
OH OH
People need a miracle
To do the next right thing
OH OH
You’re a long way from home
Hear me sing
OH OH
People need a miracle
To do the next right thing
