George Gershwin - I'll Build A Stairway To Paradise

George Gershwin

I'll Build A Stairway To Paradise

Verse One

All you preachers
Who delight in panning the dancing teachers,
Let me tell you there are a lot of features
Of the dance that carry you through
The gates of Hea-ven.

It's madness
To be always sitting around in sadness,
When you could be learning the steps of gladness.
You'll be happy when you can do
Just six or seven;

Begin to day!
You'll find it nice,
The quickest way to paradise.
When you practise,
Here's the thing to know,
Simply say as you go...

Chorus

I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step ev'ry day !
I'm gonna get there at any price;
Stand aside, I'm on my way !
I've got the blues
And up above it's so fair.
Shoes ! Go on and carry me there !
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step ev'ry day.

Verse Two

Ev'ry new step
Helps a bit ; but any old kind of two step,
Does as well. It don't matter what step you step,
If you work it into your soul
You'll get to Heaven.
Get bu-sy ;
Dance with Maud the countess, or just plain Lizzy:
Dance until you're blue in the face and dizzy.
When you've learn'd to dance in your sleep
You're sure to win out.

In time you'll get Saint Vitus dance,
Which beats the latest thing from France.
Take no chances on this Paradise ;
Let me give you advice.

Chorus (x2)

Chorus (x2)

Let me give you advice.
Take no chances on this Paradise ;
Which beats the latest thing from France.
In time you'll get Saint Vitus dance,

You're sure to win out.
When you've learn'd to dance in your sleep
Dance until you're blue in the face and dizzy.
Dance with Maud the countess, or just plain Lizzy:
Get bu-sy ;
You'll get to Heaven.
If you work it into your soul
Does as well. It don't matter what step you step,
Helps a bit ; but any old kind of two step,
Ev'ry new step

Verse Two

With a new step ev'ry day.
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
Shoes ! Go on and carry me there !
And up above it's so fair.
I've got the blues
Stand aside, I'm on my way !
I'm gonna get there at any price;
With a new step ev'ry day !
I'll build a stairway to Paradise

Chorus

Simply say as you go...
Here's the thing to know,

The quickest way to paradise.
You'll find it nice,
Begin to day!

Just six or seven;
You'll be happy when you can do
When you could be learning the steps of gladness.
To be always sitting around in sadness,
It's madness

The gates of Hea-ven.
Of the dance that carry you through
Let me tell you there are a lot of features
Who delight in panning the dancing teachers,
All you preachers
