[Intro]
I'll see you at the Weighing-In
When your life's sum-total's made

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
I'll see you at the Weighing-In
When your life's sum-total's made
And you set your wealth in goodly deeds
Against the sins you've laid

[Chorus 1]
And you place your final burden
On your hard-pressed next of kin
Send the chamber-pot back down the line
To be filled up again

[Verse 2]
And the hard-headed miracle worker
Who bathes his hands in blood
Will welcome you to the final nod
And cover you with mud

[Chorus 2]
And he'll say, "You really should make the deal,"
As he offers round the hat
"Well you'd better lick two fingers clean
He'll thank you all for that"
[Verse 3]
As you slip on the greasy platform
And you land upon your back
You make a wish and you wipe your nose
Upon the railway track

[Verse 4]
While the high-strung locomotive
With furnace burning bright
Lumbers on, you wave goodbye
And the sparks fade into night

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
And as you join the Good Ship Earth
And you mingle with the dust
You'd better leave your underpants
With someone you can trust

[Chorus 3]
And when the Old Man with the telescope
Cuts the final strand
You'd better lick two fingers clean
Before you shake his hand
