The doors to the mission open at seven
And the soup will be ready about nine
Right now its six-thirty, they're ragged and dirty
They standin' and sittin', and layin' in line
First they'll do a little singin', then hear a little preachin'
And get saved for the 3rd time this week
A bowl of soup later and a pat on the shoulder
And by midnight, they're back on the street.

They walk to the corner of 4th street and Broadway
Then take the first alley on the right
One of them asks a stranger, how 'bout a hand
And he gives 'em one finger at a time
Then they spot an old buddy, with a bottle of heaven
Then pass around what means ev'rything
One bottle for four, thank God, someone scored
And now the Midnight Choir starts to sing.

CHORUS: A CAPPELLA
Will they have Mogen David in heaven Dear Lord, we'd all like to knowWill they have Mogen David in heaven, Sweet Jesus If they don't, who the hell wants to go.

CHORUS: W/ACCOMPANIMENT
Will they have Mogen David in heaven
Dear Lord, we'd all like to know
Will they have Mogen David in Heaven, Sweet Jesus
If they don't, who the hell wants to go.
Oh! ... (Come on now...)

If they don't, who the hell wants to go, Dear God.
