Words by Jan Groth; Music by Tore W. Aas

Get on board! Hurry up, it's time to leave!
Don't need no passport and no bags,
no money and no tags,
Just get on board!

If you wanna get to heaven,
it's 59 past eleven.
And if you wanna be on that train,
when the wistle starts to blow,
Better get yourself a ticket,
gotta get yourself on board.
Your seat's been provided by the Lord.

If you wanna cross the river,
gotta act as a believer.
And if you wanna be on that boat,
when it sails for the other shore,
Better hurry to the water,
gotta get yourself on board.
Your seat's been provided by the Lord.

There's a band up there in heaven,
there's a part for me to play,
gonna bring my horn and hurry up and take my stand!
I've been working and a-working,
trying to do the best I can!

One day I'm gonna play in that band!

If you wanna see the city,
where everything is real pretty.
And if you wanna be on that plane,
when it takes off towards the sky,
Better make a reservation,
gotta get yourself on board.
Your seat's been provided by the Lord.

Oh one day,
I'm gonna play,
I'm gonna play,
I'm gonna play in that band!
