D-DU-UDU
If the Big  Boy
 comes tomorrow
 There'll be no more teardrops
 There'll be no more sorrow
 If the Big  Boy comes tomorrow
 Will He take  you with Him?
Have  you been good?
Have  you been bad?
 If you haven't  lived the way you should
 You'll wish you had
  (Notes)
When the Big  Boy
 brings his fiery  furnace
 Will He like  what he sees
 Or will He strike the fire  and burn us?
 Oh, He's so  great
 And He's so  straight
 And you know  He's watching
Have  you been good?
Have  you been bad?
If  things don’t go the way they should
 It makes me sad
 (Notes)
Come on Big  Boy
 Come and say ay ave  us
 Come and look at  what we've done
 With what you gave  us
 Now I've heard  it said
 That our Big  Boy's dead
 But I think  He's hiding
 I think He's hiding
 I think He's hiding
 Another good one from the master of irony;
 that is how I hear the chords. Enjoy!
