Psalm 100 For giving thanks.
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life. Electric word, life. It means forever and that's a mighty long time. But I'm here to tell you there's something else - the afterworld. A world of never-ending happiness. You can always see the sun, day or night. So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills, you know the one, Dr. Everything'll-Be-All-right, instead of asking him how much of your time is left, ask him how much of your mind, baby. 'Cause in this life, things are much harder than in the afterworld. This life you're on your own. And if de-elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy - punch a higher floor.

Cause in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life,
You're on your own
And if the elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy (Punch a higher floor! )
Woo!
If you don't like
The world you're living in
Take a look around
At least you got friends
You see I called my old lady
For a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(Ah-s ah-s) is all I heard
Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down?
Oh, no lets go!
Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look for the purple banana
Until they put us in the truck, let's go!
We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's cause
We're all gonna die
And when we do (When we do)
What's it all for (What's it all for)
You better live now
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door
Tell me, are we gonna let the elevator bring us down?
Oh, no let's go!
Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look for the purple banana
Until they put us in the truck, let's go!
C'mon baby
Let's get nuts!
Yeah
(Crazy)
Let's go crazy!
Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down?
Oh, no let's go!
Go (Go crazy)
I said let's go crazy (go crazy)
Let's go (Let's go! )
Go (Let's go! )
Dr. Everything'll-Be-Alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Hang tough children
He's comin'
He's comin'
Comin'
Take me away!
