[BALL]
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 Heaven

[BOE]
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

[BALL]
Begin today
You'll find it nice

[BOE]
The quickest way to paradise

[BALL]
When you practice

[BOE]
Here's the thing to know
[BOTH]
Simply say as you go

[BALL]
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step ev'ry day

[BOE]
I'm gonna get there at any price
Stand aside, I'm on my way

[BOTH]
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

[BALL]
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step ev'ry day

[BOE]
I'm gonna get there at any price
Stand aside, I'm on my way
[BOTH]
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
With a new step ev'ry day
