The morning was cold and lonely

City lights old and gray

The sun arose and trying to smile

Gave it all away

The honky tonk called a stranger

The stranger couldn't pay the bill

Made a stand raised his hand

Sang a song no time to kill

I said hey

Hey

Hey St Peter

I've got a tale to tell

I've just been down in New York town

It really feels like hell

It really feels like hell

Billy was out of fashion

Manhattan was years ago

Yesterday he wasted time

Money was kind of slow

Billy had friends of glory

Billy was a friend of fame

Took a chance and raised his hand

Sang a song now he's back in the game

I said hey

Hey

Hey St Peter

I've got a tale to tell

I've just been down in New York town

It really feels like hell

Hell

It really feels like hel

I said hey

Hey

Hey

Hey

Hey St Peter

Hey

Hey

Hey

Hey

Hey St Peter

Hey

Hey

Hey

Hey

Hey St Peter

It really feels like hell

Hell

It really feels like hell

Hey St Peter

Before you ring your bell

Just been down in New York town

Done my time in hell

Done my time in hell

I said hey

Hey

Hey

Hey

Hey St Peter

Hey

Hey

Hey

Hey

Hey St Peter

Hey

Hey

Hey

Hey

Hey St Peter

It really feels like hell

Hell

It really feels like hell

Hell

It really feels like

Hell
