Put Me On Top

I should be knocking on the door of the pearly gates

Why keep a poor man alive in a job he hates

I've heard that good things will come to he who waits

I should be riding on a float in the hit parade

Instead of sitting on the curb behind the barricade

Another verse in the doormat serenade





Won't you put me on top

Won't you put me on top, or change the odds

Won't you put me on top

Or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box



Oh, at least put some hope in the box for me

'cause it's only black and white and not a lot of each

There's a remote on the shelf, but it's out of reach





Won't you put me on top

Won't you put me on top, or change the odds

Won't you put me on top

Or at least put some hope in the bottom of the box



Put some hope in the bottom of the box

I need it
