A rich man and a poor man stood face to face

The poor man said to the rich man, “Can I have a piece of cake?”

The rich man just laughed and threw his dog the crumbs

And the poor man stood hungry as the rich man’s dog ate

The rich man died and went to hell

And the poor man died and went to heaven

And the rich man cried in agony and pain, “Can I have a drink of water,

“For I’m in the everlasting flame.”

The poor man stood ashore and sighed

There was no way to get to the other side

The rich man bit his lip and cried

He said, “I wish my soul could die!”

Well the rich man’s dog died and went to heaven

Because he was just a stupid animal he didn’t know wrong from right

He was just a stupid animal.

Well the poor man and the rich man’s dog sat eating cake

With chocolate ice cream and sirloin steak

And the rich man said, “For Heaven’s sake.”

And his skin burned in a fire lake

The rich man said, “Maybe I was wrong.

“I guess I was a low life scum,

“And I’ll suffer now and forever more

And my suffering will never be done.”

“I wish I had been a better man!”

He said, wishing

Then he burned and he burned and he burned

And he wished he had been a better man
