Lyrics
It was on one stormy winter’s night
When Sam Green pass’d away
And he reached the golden gate
The very next morn
Then he heard St. Peter say
Tell me the place from whence you came
Your occupation and your name
‘Cause all ’round here are doing the same
When Same Green said to Pete
I play piano with both hands and feet
Then old St. Peter loudly cried
Come right on in
We’ll have a dance inside
Chorus
Now there was old St. Peter dancing
To the meter of a syncopated melody
Adam and Eve they were doing the bear
Up and down on the golden stair
And with their fingers snappin’
And their wings a flappin’
They were flying all around the hall
And I saw good old Moses
In some funny funny poses
At the Angels’ ragtime ball
